Spatial Disparities in the Educational System within the Land of Severin

The development and the diversification of the economy in the Land of Severin, especially in the rural space, depend on the level of education, knowledge and skill. Though the improvement and the maintenance of an adequate level of basic infrastructure is an important element in the social-economic development, education and the professional formation are the “engine” for a good development. The difficulties faced by the educational system are mainly generated by the lack of material and human resources, which negatively influenced the level of education and the distribution of educational services within the two areas, urban and rural. Education and formation are essential for the human community living in the Land of Severin, but regarding the scholar infrastructure, there are evident discrepancies between the rural and urban space: the quality of education is low, on the one hand because of the poor endowment of educational infrastructure and, on the other hand, due to the teachers’ level of experience/ skill. Another problem faced by the system of educational services is the difficulty to attract skilled personnel in rural areas.
