Abstract

System evaluation: Using information for system improvementRomania now has many of the institutions and processes it needs for system-monitoring and evaluation.However, improved educational data and analysis have not played the central role they might in developing education policy, making reforms more vulnerable to reversals and changes, and undermining the system's ability to tackle persistent challenges of quality and equity.Ensuring that the education law that Romania is now considering is based on evidence, grounded in social and political consensus and underpinned by transparent progress monitoring against measurable, time-specific targets, would help to ensure the continuity that education policy currently lacks.Strengthening monitoring tools for student learning outcomes and equity, through a standardised assessment and collecting more contextual information on students and their learning environment will help more accurately track Romania's progress against national challenges and develop more informed policies.Finally, it is crucial that Romania invests in its analytical capacity, so it can use the information it collects to understand where and how improvements might be made and support system-wide reform.
