Evolutions of Educational Systems and Paradigms in the Knowledge-Based Society

Summary/Abstract: The new educational policies, launched at European and national level, continue the reform orientations registered so far and bring them up to date. Thus, international conventions, official European institutions, as well as the new legislation in our country reinstate, for example, the end results of the child-focused education and the competence-focused curriculum. The process generated at the level of European states gains specific particularities which may be highlighted by illustrating the itinerary of our country. The orientations, the principles, the paradigms adopted at global and European level have started being established at national level by elaborating some educational policies which have become legislative regulations. The higher education has undergone profound transformations, as the latest years have required a series of changes meant to re-establish the value of institutions at this level and to generate better forms and structures for professional human resource training. The insistence on and the attention paid to higher education both at European and at national level constitute a manner of officially acknowledging the social importance and the impact of the academic domain on the global evolution of the world.
