THE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT: FACTORS THAT CAN LEAD TO THE EMERGENCE OF IMBALANCES
Abstract
Education is an important tool for the transfer of knowledge, relationships, social experiences, and technology from generation to generation that determines the perspective in which nations will exist in the near future. This article aims to identify the factors that can lead to the emergence of imbalances in the educational environment in Romania. In the past 12 years, the educational environment went through changes that had an impact on the entire system. The highest impact of changes had a direct effect on the educational institutions that had to keep up and identify new appropriate ways to ensure the institutions success, through the fulfillment of objectives and compliance with the assumed mission. The change process is determined by numerous factors such as: the evolution of science and technologies, adaptability to professional requirements, constantly changing social, economic, informational requirements, changes in the demographic structure, the multiplication of professions, the democratization of life, and fierce competition. Analysing the literature and the reality of the educational system we have identified the following factors: changes in the leadership of the educational ministry, legislative changes, lack of funding, the curriculum is not adapted to current needs, human resources, and COVID-19 pandemic.
