| Summary: | The crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has generated significant
disruptions in tertiary education at the European level. The paper analyzed the impact
of the COVID-19 crisis on tertiary education in Europe, with a particular focus on
Romania, during the period 2015–2023. The research tracked the evolution of ten
relevant indicators for education, digitalization, governance, and social vulnerability,
using data provided by the World Bank. The study was structured in three phases: the
pre-pandemic period (2015–2019), the pandemic period (2020–2021), and the postpandemic period (2022–2023). Quantitative methods were applied, such as exploratory
data analysis, cluster analysis, and the k-means method. The results highlighted three
main groups of countries: high-performing, transitioning, and vulnerable. The
originality of the paper consisted of a cluster analysis for an extended period (2015–
2023). The study also offered an applied perspective on Romania, correlating its
educational performance with the evolution of the institutional and social context during
and after the COVID-19 crisis |
