The Pupils’ Attitudes towards the Educational Changes Taking Place in the Romanian Pre-university Educational System

We live in a dynamic and knowledge based society which is constantly changing, transforming, adapting as a direct and indirect result of the acceleration of the social processes. Due to the dynamics of the social development, the educational system became more complex and learning had to assure in an alert rhythm, directly and indirectly, the progress of the whole society. The educational changes that occur in Romania are perceived, implemented or rejected because change does not occur suddenly on its own, but it presupposes a chain of restructuring, adapting and training operations that build up the prospective and proactive competences which are required by the present day demand of the educational system. The pupils implement with ease the educational changes or they are reluctant to them according to the way in which the educational changes are promoted. They are in an ambivalent state and they are implementing the educational reforms only if they understand the importance that these educational changes have upon their lives.
