Abstract:

This paper analyzes the state of agricultural technical education in Romania after evaluations and researches, including fieldwork, which focused specifically on the most vulnerable part of these public educational programs - the practice of students in both didactic and real enterprises. A series of programmatic documents were analyzed both by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Education and by the departments / bodies responsible for implementation or institutional reform, by the theoretical (school curriculum, occupational standards, technical curricula) and practical (school partnerships with the business environment, industries, labor market). A series of interviews and case studies have been carried out in field research, especially in schools with traditional agricultural education (related specializations), who hold teaching facilities. Also, integrated models have been studied, with a real opening to the labor market.
