Driving change in Romania’s education from the bottom up

A group of businesspeople in Romania set up an association that works to improve the local education system, with the plan to bring it among the top ten in Europe in the next 20 years. It emphasizes scalability and slowly changes the system, one school at a time, regardless of the changing Education Ministers in Romania.

The NGO Asociația pentru Valori în Educație went from its first tries within the higher education system to a start with corporate backing. From working independently to receiving knowledge from all over the world, including from Australia. And went from being a local endeavor to a partnership between NGOs and on its way to a potentially globally - inspiring education venture.
