Romania The Education System
The PCR viewed education as the primary vehicle for
transforming society, instilling socialist behavior
standards and
values, and thereby creating the new socialist man. The
provision
of free and universal public education extended social
opportunity
to a broad segment of the population and became a
paramount factor
in the regime's legitimacy. At the same time, education
provided
the state with an adequate labor force for continued
economic
development. These basic objectives--societal
transformation,
legitimacy, and economic development--continued to be the
most
influential factors in setting education policy.
