ASPECTS AND PROPOSITIONS REGARDING HIGHER EDUCATION IN ROMANIA USING SWOT ANALYSIS

Education is an important agent of change for states in a globalised world. One of its most important components is represented by higher education that manages, in part, the connection between labor market and future or present employees. Romania lags behind most of the European Union member states when it comes to higher education indicators and needs a clear vision to gain the advantages from being part of the Community. Reaction to, and for market changes is required mainly from universities, seen as major institutions that release new workforce. This paper focuses on a SWOT analysis that presents several characteristics of Romanian higher education in order to give some possible solutions.
