Abstract
After the ‘90s, the suburban area of Kamez has been affected by a massive, rapid, abusive internal migration, not controlled by the state structures. The decision - making authorities were unprepared to host such a large mass of population, thus the consequences are numerous and chained, serious, some irreparable and with negative effects. Here we face a savage urbanization which has led not only to the misuse or physical consumption of the geographic space, but also to sharp social and economic problems. A sharp social problem, consequence of these uncontrolled demographic movements is also education. The education system has undergone a reform process, which although slowly, is particularly affecting the educational plans and programs, aiming to adapt themwith the requests of a democratic society based on a market economy. The government has also faced serious problems of the educational infrastructure inherited from the past, extended from the demographic changes, primarilyfrom the internal movements of the population and to a considerable extent, caused by the damages incurred especially during 1991 and 1997. The transition problems have increased the phenomenon of school drop - out or non - enrollment considerably, significantly worsening the indicators of average duration of education and school enrollment rate. The positive indicators are particularly low for the poorest areas and strata of the population. The significant population growth is not followed by the establishment of new schools, which fortunately, recently are part of the development strategies. The lack of specialized schools and lack of specific programs have worsened the social situation of children with special needs. The public education service suffers from quality problems related to the lack of teaching aids, serious lack of teachers’ requalification, outdated or rigid teaching methods, content problems etc. Education is a key factor in the sustainable and long - term development. The progress in education increases the society’s emancipation degree, contributes to the improvement of competences for the active population, reduces morbidity, mortality, reduces the fertility coefficient and therefore better living conditions. Key words: structure of population by educational level, educational infrastructure, illiteracy, summer and specialized schools, school drop out etc. DOI: 10.5901/jesr.2014.v4n2p164
