THE FINANCING OF THE ROMANIAN PRE-UNIVERSITY EDUCATION SYSTEM DURING THE INTERWAR PERIOD

The evolution of the interwar pre-university educational system is a complex subject, stirring interest not only among researchers, but also in the civil society. This interest is primarily due to the important changes made in Romanian society after the First World War. In this context, there is a tendency to present a more accurate analysis of the educational traditions and values promoted during the respective period, of the numerous theoretical and practical accumulations achieved in this field, considered of particular importance in the process of consolidating the young Romanian national state. The fundamental problem that we try to answer in this article is related to the impact registered by budget allocations on the evolution of the interwar pre-university educational system. This aspect is achieved through an introspective analysis of the government's actions regarding the financing of the education system in the period 1919-1939, in the context in which, as we have shown, all political forces supported the theory that the educational reform must be thought out and adapted to the new political, economic and social conditions.
