Education minister participates in session for Romania's performance review as part of OECD accession process

Education Minister Ligia Deca participated on Tuesday in the session for the review of Romania's performance as part of the OECD accession process held on the sidelines of the Education Policy Committee (EDPC) meeting in Paris, a release informs, stating that the main elements of Romania's accession report on education were presented on this occasion, so that the country's ability and initiative to implement the OECD legal instruments under EDPC's competence were weighted, inform agerpres.ro.

"Romania already stands to win following the cooperation with the OECD on education, which has gained momentum in recent years as a result of the participation in the prestigious international surveys carried out by the organization. For us to have an education system that gives every young person the chance to reach their potential, regardless of their social or economic background, we need to base our measures on these objective and high-quality surveys, and I am glad that we were able to initiate and reinforce Romania's participation in the OECD surveys on education. Full OECD membership will be yet another confirmation of our efforts and will strengthen our path towards a modern and fair educational system," said Minister Ligia Deca as cited in the release.

The discussion, moderated by the Committee chairman was followed by interventions by several member states who offered a sector-centered presentation of the main findings, of the strong points, as well as of the challenges faced by Romania in education as a candidate country, the release states.

The talks had a positive character, focusing on best practice exchanges regarding the improvement of unitary and integrated approaches for pre-preschool and preschool education, the development of policies aimed at the quality, equity and inclusion of pre-university students, increasing the capacity of higher educational institutions to offer relevant and accessible programs, expanding the possibilities of improvement and retraining, as an essential part of lifelong learning.

Tuesday's meeting represents an important step in the technical evaluation process of Romania's educational policies, according to the OECD Accession Roadmap.

Also, on the occasion of her visit to the OECD headquarters, Minister Deca had a bilateral meeting with OECD Director for Education and Skills Andreas Schleicher. The topics approached included Romania's participation in OECD surveys (TALIS 2024, Education at a Glance 2024, PISA 2026, PIIAC 2025-2029) and potential future collaborations.
