Questions• What does it really mean to be “educated”? • And what is the role of institutions of higher education? • Are our universities institutions of vocational training, funded
to prepare students for jobs?• Or are they institutions whose purpose is something a bit
higher than that, perhaps loftier? • Or both? • Or neither?
• Whatever our answers to these kinds of questions might be, the fact is that we are in the midst of an increasingly rapid transformation in education, across dimensions of purpose, content, pedagogy and methodologies.
• Technology, social change and the decades-long trend of ever-increasing cost have left us with many unanswered questions, multiple challenges and, of course, the need to be highly innovative in an educational culture that tends to be wary of change.
Objectives• I would like to offer, in my thesis, the analysis of the key
aspects of innovation in education field: dimensions, dampening factors, triggers, places and contexts in which it occurs etc.
• In the thesis structure, a special place has the innovation in assessing the situation of the agricultural education system before and after 1990, the importance of the reform and innovation in the educational system as well as how innovation could be fostered in our education system.
