Abstract:
The paper tackles, in evolution, the main actions initiated at a European level
which have represented landmarks in promoting some systems of assurance of educational
quality in the general context of development of some strategies of quality. Connected to the
tendencies existing at a European level, the paper presents the legislative- normative
framework of ensuring the quality of educational services in Romania as well as other
elements which have directed and substantiated the elaboration of the Regulations of
Assuring the Quality of the Services of Education and Scientific Research in the Academy of
Economic Studies of Bucharest.The system of education, in general, and the system of
higher education, especially, hold a central place in the development of mankind and of the
modern contemporary society, owing to their intellectual and cultural key-responsibilities
and to their moral impact upon all of society. The preoccupation of assuring quality in
education, by promoting some high quality curricula and some highly efficient strategies of
instruction under conditions of complete transparency, were also due to the issuing of some
diplomas proving the graduation from various university levels which the knowledge
acquired didn’t justify, a fact whose implications are deeper and deeper and ever more
complex.
