Education in Romania – Between accelerating economic growth and increasing gaps with the West

Abstract

 There is an unwritten law about the progress of society which sounds like this: that who invests in education, over the course of a generation – 30 years – will gather wellbeing and progress. This experiment was launched and implemented in Romania, in 1878, by the mathematician Spiru Haret. The results of such a reform which began in the beginning of 1900, led to the third wave of modernization of the country in 1930. The newly launched reform at that moment represented a beginning for the development of Romanian society. Starting from these considerations and viewing the encouraging horizons coming from historical arguments, we propose an analysis of the influence of the education system present for this period in the history of the Romanian state, how the system worked, how was this important necessity identified and how it was regulated in order to benefit economic development.
