Using Performance Indicators to Design the Outlook on Quality and Efficiency of Education Systems. A Comparative Analysis (Romania-France) of Students’ Results at International Assessments
Journal Title: Revista de Stiinte Politice. Revue des Sciences Politiques - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 60
Abstract
Through this article we aim to analyse, using the perspective of comparative statistics, the quality and efficiency of two education systems - the Romanian and the French one – based on the following indicators: student results at national and international assessments; results in graduation exams; the share of students studying a foreign language. Regarding the results of the students at national and international assessments, there will be taken into account especially the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS). It will also be analysed, in a comparative manner, the results of the graduation exams registered by Romanian and French students, starting from the reports prepared by the Ministry of National Education (Romania) and the French Ministry of Education, Youth and the Voluntary Sector. Thus, the purpose of this article is, on the one hand, to highlight the similarities and differences between the two social subsystems and, on the other hand, to outline some examples of good practice that can be used to correct existing problems in both countries.
