Gove, Amber | Sapatoru, Dana | Berryman, Sue E. | Tirca, Anca
Romania was among the first Central and Eastern European countries to initiate a comprehensive, large-scale education reform. Reform goals included introducing a flexible national curriculum, alternative textbooks, a private textbook publishing industry, the teacher training required to change classroom practice, the training of head teachers and school inspectors in how to institute quality-focused management of the schools, a national assessment and examination service, rationalized management of the school infrastructure, and reducing the quality gap between rural and urban schools. Commitment to various parts of the reform agenda varied with the political party in power and specific minister of education. The period of 1990-1995 was a clarifying phase, with reforms gathering force in the 1995-1999 period. The 2000-2003 period saw some reversals in the reform agenda, and advances in others.
