Sursa foto: Inquam Photos / Octav Ganea Only a third of citizens say they are satisfied with the quality of the education system as a whole, but the majority (59%) consider that university education in Romania is a quality one, according to an opinion barometer conducted within the project "Sustainable Romania" implemented by the General Secretariat of the Government through the Department for Sustainable Development. The majority of survey participants, over 50%, appreciate that Romania's schools offer equal opportunities to all children, according to a statement from the Department for Sustainable Development. "This perception seems to be contradicted by objective data, especially those related to access to education during the pandemic, in which a significant number of children (one million, according to the competent institutions) did not have online schooling for a certain period of time. In addition, the geographical distribution of school dropout at high school and vocational school level shows significant variations: according to official data data from 2018, the lowest rate is in Bucharest -1.7%, and the highest rates are in the Center (3.3%), West (3.2%) and South-East (3%) regions", mentions the quoted source.
