ABSTRACT

All European papers consider the efficiency and quality of education as a fundamental
premise of social cohesion, economic growth and sustainable development in the
transition towards a knowledge society. The major reform processes initiated by the
government in higher education, decentralization and quality management, are fully
compatible and convergent with the European direction of reform in order to achieve
the fundamental objectives of the ’Lisbon Process’. Debt of any institution of the
national education system, regardless of type, level and form of organization of work, is
to provide teaching, learning and research quality, the need to build an institutional
culture of quality education, to help develop personal and professional students, to
society. The paper analyzes policies and strategies for quality assurance in the national
education system in Romania, in correlation with the guidelines and actions to promote
European and global level. It specifies the strategic objectives agreed by the university
in line with the requirements of a quality education to European standards.

Keywords: Bologna process, quality of education, strategic objectives.
