Digital Education in Romania and Funding Programs
Abstract
Digital education has become a central topic of interest in Romania's pre-university system, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated an urgent and widespread transition to online learning formats. This shift exposed both the advantages and limitations of remote digital instruction. Among the most significant challenges identified during this period is the insufficient preparedness of teaching personnel in the effective and pedagogically sound use of digital technologies. As technology increasingly penetrates all aspects of education, the need for continuous professional development among teachers emerges as a fundamental pillar for ensuring successful digital integration in schools.
