Les politiques éducatives à dimension variable: Roumanie, Union Européenne et Organisations Internationales. Quelles sont les perspectives pour la société de demain?

Abstract

Our society is characterized by more and more significant changes which present a particularly strong impact on education. In such a historical context, making predictions about the future of education is an extremely delicate mission for policy-makers, researchers, parents and learners.  In the current paper, we formulated the hypothesis that prospects in education are influenced by economic, social, geopolitical and pedagogical factors. In order to explore our working hypothesis, we carried out more than sixty semi-structured interviews with national, European, international officials of international organizations, European Union and Romanian educational organizations.  Political discourse analysis highlights that the future of education worldwide is mainly interdependent on financial funding for education, “ageing” challenges, real outputs after a training period, as well as the “Lifelong Leaning” approach.
