The Constitutional Evolution of Romanian Education in 1866-1965 in the Romanian Space
Abstract
The evolution of society in the Romanian space is also important from the perspective of analyzing the constitutional evolution of education during the period 1866-1965. Romanian education has undergone a long and complex constitutional process over a century, marked by cultural, political, and economic interests. From Cuza’s educational reforms, continuing with the assertion of Romanian state sovereignty, through the two wars, and culminating with the establishment of the communist regime, education in the Romanian space has evolved, ensuring educational development and achieving its most significant accomplishments. The gradual nature of the evolution of Romanian education has led to a decrease in illiteracy, a reshaping and development of the architecture of educational logistics, and the professionalization of teaching staff, all under the state’s requirements characteristic of each Constitution adopted between 1866 and 1965. Education within the education system lays the foundation for social cohesion and, implicitly, its development.
