Abstract:
The structure of education and initial training system aims at ensuring
flexibility and openness of individual educational routes. The gross
enrolment rate in university education increased from 27.7% in 2000-2001
up to 44.8% in 2005-2006. The increasing participation in university
education is determinate by the development of private university education,
development of the universities’ networks, by setting up new universities or
by developing subsidiary universities in non traditional locations, increasing
enrolments, increasing interest for university education due to larger labor
market absorption of highly educated people and lower unemployment risk
for university graduates. For rural population and vulnerable groups, the
access and participation to university education remains low due to the
relatively high costs of university education and the incidence of early school
leaving affecting them.
