                         IDEAL VS. REALITY

ABSTRACT: Without a real change, the Romanian education system and especially the pre-
university system will not be able to overcome its instability and provisional character. The reforms
that started in 2000 must continue. The success of the decentralization of the pre-university system,
as a basic component of the reform, greatly depends on the manner in which the financing of pre-
university education must be carried out in accordance with the number of pupils, and the funds
must be assigned to place the pupil in a flexible and facile environment.

Key words: pre-university education reform, financing, decentralization.
