Romanian President Traian Basescu criticized the Romanian educational system harshly on Monday as the new university year opened in Romania. During a speech at the Transylvania University in Brasov, he said Romanian education was a “mediocre one”, a status that must be overcome if Romania wants to see more performance in all fields of activity.
He argued his statement with the fact that no Romanian university comes among the world’s top 500 universities and none complies with even half o the criteria to be included among the best.
Traian Basescu critica, din nou, mediocritatea
Basescu insisted that if performance is the target than the Romanian educational system must pay attention to quality, competitiveness and equal chances to all. And for that, infrastructure must improve, he said.
The President also warned that the level of performance among faculty graduates in Romania is below that requested by employing companies.
