Legislative Changes and Contemporary Trends in Human Resources Training in Education

Abstract

At European level, the changes that have occurred in recent years have generated a unified approach at least
in regards with the teachers’ training, which brought about changes in the Romanian educational system as well.
Therefore, all syllabi regarding the training of future teachers were brought under regulation in order to function only at the level of higher education, regardless of the specialization conferred by the diploma. At the same time, the desire to align national standards to the international ones in the teacher training field has generated a phenomenon contrary to the university’s autonomy policy, all higher education institutions choosing their own management of the psycho-pedagogical studies syllabus, without changing the specific curriculum imposed by the Ministry. All these legislative changes would have been considered major changes unless the enactment of the National Education Law no. 1 of 2011, which brings the most profound and comprehensive restructuring of the education system in the last 20 years. Reforming initiatives are being implemented and will be supplemented by other measures and their effects will be noticed in time, when the expected increase in the quality of education will be conclusive.
