AFRICAN STUDENTS AND THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS OF ROMANIAN EDUCATION. FROM THE POLITICAL ISSUE OF INTERNATIONALISM TO THE ROMANIAN EDUCATIONAL OFFER BETWEEN 1970 AND 1990

Summary/Abstract: Starting with the early 1970s, following several visits of Nicolae Ceausescu in African countries and the signing of trade, economic and cultural aid agreements with these countries, the presence of African students has become increasingly visible in Romania. For almost twenty years, until the end of the regime in December 1989, their number, countries of origin and the choice of subjects studied have varied significantly for political or cultural reasons, but also due to the transformations of the international market of higher education. Following a work of documentation and statistical analysis in this article presents the development of relations between Romania and African countries since their beginning of these relations and particularly between 1970 and 1990. The increasing number of African students confirmed the internationalization of higher education in communist countries and yet a more significant presence of Romania in African states.
