Abstract

In this article, the authors have proposed to consider a period of time based on existing data system statistics, quantitative and qualitative development of the activity in the university education system in Romania. The premise was left in such a study is that, every year, producing fewer high school graduates with a baccalaureate diploma. On the other hand, all in a certain decline is recorded growth rates drop by more and more university students. Another important element in the analysis of the university is the fact that the labor market offers fewer opportunities for employment on the profile of each program graduates of bachelor and master. The analysis is based on the fact that in Romania there are a number of institutions of higher education or 55 higher education in the state and 46 private higher education institutions (37 universities and 9 foundations). Analysis was done on several criteria, namely: the number of candidates enrolled in universities accredited or provisionally approved expressing a decline from year to year. Secondly, it has pursued an analysis on key fundamental areas of undergraduate level recorded in 2016/2017 academic year or other years of prior periods. Another element of the analysis, it was the structure of graduates license key areas during the 2014/2015, 2016/2017, which showed some progress. Number of seats in the first year offered by government policies began to be increasingly more fragile occupied by candidates who wish to undertake undergraduate studies, and then the master. The authors focused on the present hierarchy state and private higher education institutions by offering seats for the first year and considered the situation according to Government Decision No 654/2016, which is consistent with the structure for the academic year 2016- 2017. An interesting element option presents candidates t o fill seats specializations year at public institutions and private institutions. Of course, there is a certain hierarchy, leaving the seats Free State (budget) and total paid-seats offered so higher education institutions and the private. We used a hierarchy of main specializations based on the number of seats offered for the first year in public and private institutions for the academic year 2016-2017 to show the specific situation of the offer of seats in higher education and employment demand in these seats with entrance exams to reveal the situation in our country. To highlight more clearly what the situation is in connection to bid for seats in 2016-2017, the authors resorted to presenting EU Member hierarchy after share of population with tertiary education in total employment for the age of 15-64 years. The data we used refers to 2015 for which data were comparable for all European Union countries. An important element of it was the fact that the structure of education in Romania is slightly narrower than in other Eastern European countries. From this point of view in Romania there are only two possibilities, namely that of high school or a school of arts and crafts for secondary school graduates and for high school graduates only university or post-secondary. Germany, as an example, offers a much larger number, in both cases, reaching that offer high school graduates are nine such tracks. Then, we referred to the fact that in Romania there is a high school dropout, and to this end, we conducted a study during 2010-2015 on the degree and level of inclusion in education of the population aged 15-18 years. In Romania, enrollment rate decreased year by year, both in structure and in absolute numbers. It is clear that a significant number of people aged 15-18 left out of education. Embodying the available data were made presentations about the school population aged 17 years, from birth, who were students enrolled in education in 2014-2015 and evolution of the number of students promoted or failed the baccalaureate during 2010-2016. In the study, the authors sought to identify the causes that led to these results, much lower in terms of high school graduates who were able to obtain high school diploma. Based on the results presented, the authors attempted an expression of the number of students from the offer for high school graduates with BAC between 2017-2022. Not least was considered the correlation with the labor market and settled share level and age group of 0-24 years in the total population in 1992, 2010 and 2016. At the end of this study, the authors allow some suggestions on the basis of the causes identified in the social responsibility of universities in rural areas, which can lead to a better access to general education and university in Romania.
