Young people in Romania want to move away from the traditional school
Personal development and preparation for professional life are a major concern for young Romanians. According to a new study, most of them (95%) have already identified the areas they want to improve, and the top preferences include financial education (37%), public speaking (36%) and marketing and communication (28%). ).
The next places are taken by more business-oriented fields, such as leadership and management (25%) or entrepreneurial education (22%). Technology and innovation also appeal to a quarter of respondents.
Asked what changes they would like to make in their lives to feel fulfilled, 14% of the young people who participated in the study said they wanted financial stability, and 12% – learning and education. A similar percentage are looking for a change in their professional life: from finding a job or changing the current one, to earning more or enjoying more flexibility.
“Unfortunately, school does not prepare children and young people for life, neither personally nor professionally. Young people are not taught to think critically, with their own minds, to formulate questions, to search for information, to find solutions and alternatives to the situations they face. (…) The study we carried out shows the major need and interest of young people to improve skills that are not taught to them either at school or college, and especially social-human skills essential in the field of work, such as collaboration, communication, adaptability and emotion management, resilience” said Monica Florea, CEO and founder of UP Generation, the company that conducted the study.
