THE ADULT LEARNING PROCESS IN ROMANIA
THE ADULT LEARNING PROCESS IN ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: „The study provides an overview of tendencies and contradictions in lifelong learning and adult education in Romania in order to understand the present practices in Romanian adult education. The particular slant on lifelong learning in different countries depends on their history and traditions and on the current social, political and economic context. For the past 20 years, Romania has been in a period of transition from a post-communist to a market-based and democratic society. This has brought new challenges to education, including adult education. Romania is a country which introduced new general economic reforms and joined the European Union. Adult education policy in Romania has been influenced by the direction of social, economic and political change in the European Union; it has also been affected by the need to consider EU directives, European policies and trends in the European educational area. This study focuses on adult education in Romania by analysing strategic documents concerning lifelong learning and adult education policy and statistical data concerning participation in lifelong learning activities.”
