For nearly half a million young
\npeople in Romania this week is all about the start of a new academic year. Some
\n450 thousand students have enrolled in one of the 54 public universities and 47
\nprivate universities in the country. The University of Bucharest, the Academy
\nof Economic Sciences and several faculties part of the National School for
\nPolitical and Administrative Sciences in Bucharest chose to organize opening ceremonies.
\nPresident Klaus Iohannis attended the opening ceremony held at the Babes Bolyai
\nUniversity in Cluj Napoca, founded 100 years ago. On this occasion, the
\npresident decorated the six state universities in Cluj County which have had a
\nspecial impact on the community, contributing to its development in the spirit
\nof multiculturalism and which represent a major pillar for the preservation and
\npromotion of national values and culture, reads a Presidency release. Ioan
\nAurel Pop, the Rector of the Babes Bolyai University and the President of the
\nRomanian Academy, told Radio Romania about the value of Romanian universities,
\nconsidering the institution he is heading is included in a ranking of the top
\n1,000 universities in the world. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
We have prestigious and very valuable universities. But they have to be
\nwell supported by lawmakers and decision-makers, because you cannot get results
\nwithout a generous budget. When the
\nranking of the top 500 universities was compiled, some 10,000 universities took
\npart. Now some 30,000 universities are competing to be included in the top
\n1,000, so to be one of the top 1,000 universities right now is actually better
\nthan it was to be included in the top 500. This means that Romanian universities
\n are on a par with universities from
\nPoland, Hungary, Slovenia and Slovakia, namely that part of Europe which
\nsuffered under communism and underwent a process of isolation at global level.
\nEfforts must be channeled permanently to improve, because the professor’s duty
\nis to teach his students research skills and the latest trends in their fields,
\nand this dynamic, with the constant exchange of practices and information, is
\nvery helpful in that respect.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Students enrolled at the Carol Davila
\nUniversity of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest will start classes on Tuesday,
\nwhile other universities, such as the Polytechnics University in Bucharest, started
\nthe academic year last week. <\/p>\n
