Abstract

Government Emergency Ordinance no. 100/2021 has brought forth changes in the legislative framework regarding nursery education legislation in Romania, integrating formal activities for children under three years old into the educational system. This amendment has impacted not only those directly involved but also teacher candidates. This study presents the results of an empirical research, revealing the impact of the changes in the system on the career aspirations of teacher candidates. In our research we used a self-designed questionnaire to assess our sample of 340 teacher candidates. Results indicate that teacher candidates show commitment to the previously selected age group, however some are open to becoming early years teachers. This is primarily characteristic of those with a pragmatic approach, the new opportunity has a more pronounced impact on their career aspirations.
