During the course of the following paper I aime to investigate possible reasons for the impressive results that countries in East and South-East Asia have obtained at the PISA examinations that take place every three years. These examinations include three tests: Math, Science and Reading. What I have found is that there are more than one reasons that contribute to this type of succes. The main three that I have chosen to present are first and foremost: an unique cultural climate where education is highly prized by the members of the community and the role of teachers is aknowkedged as being central to the development of society. Secondly, different parenting methods can also be cited as influencing educational outcome. Thirdly, we have an education system that has a strong and well funded public school system but also a vast network of options outside the state provided system that includes cram schools, language schools and online schools, parents there showing a very high willingness to invest in extra classes and educational options outside the public education system.

The European social models that emerged in Europe are answers to various problems faced by micro and macroeconomic activity.

Lately we are speaking increasingly more about progress, peace, cooperation, understanding and integration in the context of increased efforts to level the inherent differences between individuals or groups of individuals, belonging to different cultural and ideological traditions. But if we do not want all these aspirations to lead to a new Tower of Babel, it must be borne in mind the consideration as a whole and as a particular the real anthropological context of human development, in terms of immanentotranscendental axiology, the two coordinate whose balance determines the progress and the regress of history. From this perspective, the practical approach to an issue so ambitious is obliged to take into account, first the importance both of the spiritual and rational factor understood in its full forming dimension. This paper is intended to be a concise and systematic exposure of the missionary and proselyte thinking and its relationships with the process of secularization in the democratic environment of the XXI century.

The analyzed period is 1996-2010 and the data used provided to the National Institute of Statistics and Eurostat. Were calculated relative change of the final expenditure of households, relative change in the share of education spending in total household consumption while identifying the relationship between these indicators. We calculated the correlation coefficients between these indicators. After analyzing the data it was found that, during 1996-2010, the correlation coefficient between the change in the unemployment rate and the change in the expenditure on education in final consumption of households has a value close to 1, so a direct relationship strong, and the rate of change inflation and the change in the expenditure on education in final consumption of households is negative and close to zero, therefore an inverse, but weak. Therefore, expenditures on education are directly influenced by the evolution of the unemployment rate, but not inflation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to summarize a series of specific arguments for Dewey s "new type of education " reprezenting a new beginning for the way in which democracy should be applied into all the spheres of social and political life, and especially in education. The pragmatic conception of knowledge is enriched in the Dewey's view by a social dimension impossible to ignore. If the pragmatism insists on the idea of knowledge as a tool to adapt to the environment, and if the human environment is essentially social, then knowledge has a fundamental social dimension, which must be taken into account in organizing education. Therefore, from a Deweyanperspective, education in a democratic context must try to be integrative in regard to societal particularities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relationship between the concept of information society and the one of knowledge-based society, the reciprocal transfer of benefits from one to the other, are factors that generate optimism in relation to the evolution of humanity towards a global society that is thoroughly outlined around very seductive principles. At this stage, what actually the knowledge-based society provides is a collection of paradoxes recorded especially in the cultural and educational plan. In most definitions and explanations that regard formal outlines, the predictable contents and developments of "the knowledge-based society" are consistently operated by two vector categories: technological and functional vectors. If we can only succeed in detaching ourselves from the ideality of an image that is consistently promoted in studies devoted to "the information and knowledge society", we will have to acknowledge the factual image of younger studious generations, the first potential beneficiaries of these technological facilities, who do not make the most of it in the cultural and educational plan.
