Attitude and change in education

In the current context of the European education development, the Romanian educational system requires major changes. The restructurings of the Romanian pre-university educational system in the recent years demand the investigation of opinions and attitudes of those who represent the educational institutions, educational actors, i.e. teachers and students.
