Abstract: Romanian technical higher education is now at a crossroads and must be reset, rethought, rearranged on new directions, on the one hand taking into account the international results obtained by the technical universities and on the other hand the new European requirements. The European single market requires the recognition of qualifications in order to comply with one of the requirements of the Accession Treaty: free market access for services and goods. This requires the Romanian education to adopt measures that translate into its reset, such as primarily: it requires the adoption of ISCED classification, it requires the adoption of skills/ abilities and knowledge from ESCO as well as the transition to learning outcomes as a result of the education process. At the same time, learning outcomes require common assessment and certification systems at the level of the technical system, together with the involvement of market representatives in the process of curriculum design as well as assessment and certification of learning outcomes. Therefore, it is a different kind of school than the one that has existed for the past 25 years, that is one essentially student-centered and focused on efficiency.
Key words: learning outcomes ISCO, ESCO, skills, study programs, efficiency.
1. INTRODUCTION
In this pandemic time, the higher technical education suffers the most along with medical education, because laboratories, applications within projects, the projects themselves, can no longer be realized in the desired parameters.
The future practicing engineer cannot perform all its activity on the internet, before the computer, engineering is an applied field of technology and not everyone can become consultants, experts, specialists overnight.
Globally, there is talk of the great reset, and the authors talked about the reset of education [1], mentioning general aspects of the future of education.
This article discusses the rethinking / resetting of higher education in the technical field.
It is considered that the time has come for its reorganization, it is too vast and not homogenous, leading to financial and occupational inefficiency.
What does this mean? It is simple, money is spent on study programs that end with qualifications for occupations that will no longer exist.
2. THE LEVEL OF QUALIFICATION
The level of qualification is not complied with and there is no difference between the bachelor...
