Summary/Abstract: Since early times, initial training has been subsumed to the initiative of teachers, who are the centre of the educational system, and who set contents, structures, organizational forms based on time, place and action units. Initial training is generally addressed to a narrow segment of the population, adolescents and youth under 25 years of age, whose development is malleable and available to teachers.Continuing professional development concerns the young adults over 25, students who are looking forward to adapting their training in view of changing the activity. Continuous learning is included in the concept of lifelong learning, a term used by the European Commission, which means alternating professional activity with short periods of information acquisition.In Europe, a network was founded, based on a better understanding of educational policies. Each state has the right to decide its own system of education and training, but also must provide a uniform platform of educational needs. Ensuring the quality of education is an advantage for future education. Human resources must first and foremost be ensured, as they facilitate substantial transformation in the educational reality. Other elements that ensure the quality of education are those related to: ● the important role of teachers; ● the community’s participation in education; ● relationship with the social and natural environment, family, church.
