A Meta-Analysis on Adult Education Policies in Romania

Abstract

Society evolution, technological development, and demographic aging are some of the phenomena which impact humankind nowadays. In the academic, educational, and political worlds, the development of public policies targeted at educating and developing individuals is a complex topic. Our society requires an appropriate structure, attention, norms, and procedures to assure good levels of education and investment for enhancing people’s lives throughout education because of specific current socioeconomic characteristics, worldwide demographic shifts, and rapid technological advancement. One of the study’s primary research areas is policy and strategy in dealing with older adults at a critical moment of demographic transition. A qualitative analysis was used to analyze key questions in the existing literature, such as the emergence of lifelong learning as a government focus, the organizational framework of adult education in Romania, the outcomes of quality policy implementation across diverse adult education settings, and the impact of educational policies on stakeholders in adult education. In addition, a thorough review of academic literature, official paperwork, and reports on Romanian adult education policy was done, with the goal of analyzing important metrics, methodology, example instances, and factual insights significant to the subject. Finally, adult education, lifelong learning, politics, social and educational policy are all discussed. The research also investigates the theoretical underpinnings of the adult education concept, with a particular emphasis on the role of adult education in overcoming social and economic challenges. If society desires to enhance people’s lives through education, prioritizing and focusing on adult education and life-long learning might be a solution.
