Education in Romania has been the reason for debate ever since the communist regime was abolished. Although a lot of reforms and actions to improve the system have been done in the last decades, there are still a lot of issues to be solved that prevent its innovation and efficiency. Moreover, the global pandemic has proved once more that Romania is not prepared for this century of fast technological changes, having an educational system abounding in old methods of teaching, overnight impractical reforms, untrained teachers, and a high rate of school dropout. This article intends to address important issues and present some solutions to improve the teaching-learning process in Romania no matter of the form it might take in the future. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to collect the necessary data to have a better image of the obstacles that prevent our country from providing high standard education. The main conclusion of the research is that the teaching-learning process in our country needs to be rigorously improved in order to prepare the future generations of students for the demands of today’s society. Through analysing in-depth the mistakes of the past and learning from the present shortcomings, a long-term vision for success with real educational goals can be achieved in the future.
