In the second part of the article there are described methods used in the paper. At the point three of the paper is being built a new conceptual model of the Romanian educational system named in the literature education student-centred. After several stages of diagnosis of the educational system, of conceptualization and regulation of the reform, in the last years 2007-2011, several applicative strategies of the student-centred education stood out and were analyzed in this paper. In part four of the paper are selected from the recent Romanian legislative documents the most important applicative strategies of student-centred education in order to assess if the theoretical concept of education student-centred is reflected in educational policy documents. In conclusion it argues the need for generalization of education student-centred in the Romanian educational system but this requires a systemic conceptualization and strategic and integrated application of student-centred education.
