Summary/Abstract: Education in Romania is facing a crisis nowadays. From the complexity of evolution from a central economy (and, implicitly, a central education), to a capitalist economy and an educational system that aligns itself to European standards, a series of negative opinions emerge regarding the future of schooling. Therefore, an important part of the citizens of the Jiu Valley (Romania) and, probably, of Romania altogether are still looking for landmarks which date from communist education. At the moment there are no viable governmental programs meant to reduce school dropout, which makes Romania a vulnerable country.
