Abstract
Abstract The modernization of higher education is a complex process and occupies a priority place on the agenda of concerns both at European level and at the level of each member state of the European Union (EU). In this paper we present the results of the analysis of the main aspects of post-integration modernization of higher education in Romania, compared to the evolution in other Member States in the same period, from the perspective of five indicators: expenditure per student, percentage of GDP allocated to higher education, graduates per thousand inhabitants and professor per student’s ratio. In order to achieve the proposed objective, we have carried out a research and a cluster analysis of data from secondary sources of available information, respectively reports of the European Commission and various statistical reports that will be mentioned throughout the article.

In order to highlight the effects of the state of emergency at the level of the educational system and implicitly the proposed action plan, we developed an analysis of the educational sector, considering a set of relevant indicators, as follows: expenditure per student, % GDP allocated to higher education, graduates per thousand inhabitants and professor per student’s ratio at the 2019 level, and compared to European Union (EU) countries
The cluster analysis indicates Romania's position among EU member states, according to a series of main indicators on educational performance, namely: expenditures per student, percentage of GDP allocated to higher education, number of graduates per thousand inhabitants and ratio number of students per teacher
Summary
The educational system is a vital area in the existence and evolution of any society. It generates knowledge and skills, but prepares new generations to take on specific responsibilities to contribute to the development of the society in which they operate. Universities are important social partners with a major impact in teaching and learning, in developing the skills needed in the labor market, in generating and transferring knowledge, in supporting innovation and ensuring a substantial contribution to a modern and internationally integrated society. The Bologna Declaration was signed by Romania in 1999, at the same time as other Eastern and Central European countries. The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), as well as the diploma supplement were introduced as mandatory elements for each university in Romania
