Curtea de Conturi: Liceenii, slab pregătiți pentru piața muncii

A recent audit by the Court of Accounts reveals a disconnect between high school education in Romania and labor market needs. The report highlights that many students graduate without essential skills for societal integration, with Romania ranking low in PISA evaluations. The audit, conducted from April to November 2025, emphasizes the lack of systematic collaboration between educational policies and market demands. While vocational education benefits from partnerships with the economy, theoretical high schools focus on transversal skills without direct ties to job market requirements. Recommendations include strengthening partnerships between education and the economy, regular updates to educational policies, and establishing a unified framework for tracking graduates' educational and professional paths.
