Starting from March 2025, a detailed description and an overview of the national education system of the Republic of Moldova are available on the online platform of the Eurydice network – Eurypedia. This initiative marks an important step in Moldova’s integration into the European educational space and facilitates access to updated information on the structure and functioning of the national education system.
Since 2024, Moldova, alongside Ukraine and Georgia, has joined this network, contributing to a better mutual understanding of education systems across Europe.
The Eurydice network was established in 1980 by the European Commission and the Member States to support European cooperation in the field of education. All EU member states are part of Eurydice, along with some non-EU countries. The network helps improve education systems in Europe through providing high quality information on a wide range of aspects of education policy and practice. Eurydice provides descriptions of national education systems, comparative studies devoted to specific topics, indicators and statistics. Eurydice reports show how countries tackle challenges at all education levels: early childhood education and care, primary and secondary education, higher education and adult learning.
The description of Moldova’s education system on the Eurypedia platform includes detailed information on the structure of the education system, fundamental principles, national policies, and the organisation and governance of education at central and regional levels. Users can access data on educational levels and cycles according to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-2011), the principles underlying education in the country, and the legislative framework regulating the functioning and development of the education system.
The National Erasmus+ Office in Moldova manages the national Eurydice unit, with the responsibility of developing, updating, and disseminating information about Moldova’s education system. Through this platform, Moldova reaffirms its commitment to promoting transparency and cooperation in education at the European level, facilitating access to essential information for researchers, policymakers, and the general public interested in European education systems.
