Summary/Abstract: Among the priority objectives of the Romanian educational policy, highlighted after 1990, which are convergent with the objectives of the European dimension, we may note: the democratization of the Romanian educational system, the improving quality of education, special focus on the social role of education, the development of Romanian cultural values, promoting Romanian culture identity in the world culture, training responsible active citizens to contribute to the development of a democratic society. The compatibilization of the Romanian educational system with European structures and systems involve the following lines of action: reducing the amount of information and educational programs in the European curriculum, converting reproductive education to creative education, improving infrastructure and widespread electronic communication, building partnerships between educational institutions and the economic, administrative and cultural environment, educational management oriented towards competitiveness and performance. Among the lines taken into account in the reform of Romanian education, the reform of the curriculum is an essential segment and this is now a distinct theme in the sciences of education. The program of the curricular reform is a coherent approach to the national education policy, designed and developed according to current European trends and practices.
