摘要：AbstractDistance education in Romania experienced in its early years of development a number of obstacles, mainly due to lack of public information on this form of higher education. To capture the way the employers appreciate the quality of studies and their recommendations for developing this form of education, we conducted a national research in May 2011. The research aimed at investigating the Romanian employers’ opinions on distance learning and the establishment of the courses of action for a better correlation between distance education and the requirements of the labour market and the knowledge-based society. To find the employers’ opinions, we carried out a national questionnaire-based survey, answered by a total of 825 employers. The results showed that the employers’ priority is to increase the quality of this form of education, especially by emphasizing its practical aspects and links with the realities of the economy and the labour market. The main request of those who benefit or may directly benefit from distance learning programs (by employing its graduates) is to improve the quality of this form of education.
