Romania Administration
In 1989 the PCR continued to set education policy and
initiate
changes in the system. Education was centrally controlled
through
the Ministry of Education and Training, which carried out
party
mandates and was responsible for the general organization,
management, and supervision of education. Although in
theory all
educational activities were subject to the authority of
this
central ministry, many of the specific duties were
delegated to
support organizations, and lower party organs were
involved in
running the system at all levels. The degree of central
state
involvement varied. Higher education, because of its vital
role in
research and economic development, was the most directly
administered. On the other hand, at the lower levels,
there was a
fair amount of parental and popular participation in
school
affairs.
