Summary/Abstract: „United in diversity” is the official motto of the European Union (EU). It signifies how Europeans have come together, in the form of the EU, to work for peace and prosperity, while at the same time being enriched by the continent’s many different cultures, traditions and languages. The cooperation regarding the policies in the education and training field began with the adoption of the White Paper on education and training „Teaching and learning – Towards a Learning Society”, by which the European Union defines itself as moving toward a learning society based on acquiring new knowledge and lifelong learning. The world has realized that the economic success of the states are directly determined by the quality of their education systems and that the most effective factor of production is human capital expressed in knowledge, skills, creative abilities and moral qualities of individuals in society. The specialists consider that the education system became a priority branch of production, being regarded as an occupational field, as a profitable investment sphere. This conception concerning the mission of education will dominate the educational policy of most countries in the world in the next period.
