Education in Romania

  • Higher earning Why a university degree is worth more in some countries than others

    AFGHANISTAN, 2016/12/11 A university education may expand your mind. It will as well fatten your wallet. Data from the OECD, a club of rich nations, show that graduates can expect far better lifetime earnings than those without a degree. The size of this premium varies. It is greatest in Ireland, which has a high GDP per chief and rising inequality. Since 2000 the unemployment rate for under-35s has swelled to 8% for those with degrees – but to additional than 20% for those without, and nearly 40% for secondary school drop-outs. The country’s wealth presently goes disproportionately to workers with letters next their names.
  • Serbian adult literacy programme

    ROMANIA, 2013/03/06 In a Belgrade classroom, with walls covered with posters of the Serbian alphabet, 11 men and women are filling out test papers. A white-haired man in his 50s sits at a desk next to a young man, both peeping at each other's papers.  The two classmates are part 5,000 people in Serbia who are learning how to read and write through the education ministry's Druga Sansa (Second Luck) Project.
