The proposed paper aims at presenting the present situation as concern the challenges the pupils are taught about during their university and pre university courses on one hand, the necessity of the labour market and the European new paradigms in the educational policies on the other hand. From all the values taken into consideration, we focus mainly on the familiarization of the European inhabitants with the usage of the foreign languages. Firstly, we refer to the values within the European dimension of education, as they were established by the European Commission for every state. Here we make reference to the plan of the educational contents, as it has to contain elements of proximity and coincidence. Secondly, we talk about the new paradigms met with the new political and social situation. Here we stress the importance of knowledge, but also of competences and values people have to achieve. In order to fulfill this task, the usage of the TIC and of the educational resources gained for every type of educational issue should be intensified. We also mention the series of activities that help learning the common language for a European citizenship and the defining of the new types of educations, adapted to the dimension of education, the European Commission and the Council of Europe propose. The next treated aspect is to establish the defining of the problem mentioned at the beginning. For that we reach the following objectives: to describe the nature of the problem, to establish the scale of the problem, to identify the affected categories, to establish the causes of the problem, to argue the need for intervention, to estimate the risks and the uncertainty of the problem discussed and also to present the healing activities. In order to get real information, we used the following methods: questionnaires (were disseminated to different categories of respondents: students, employed, unemployed, discriminated categories and so on) and observations. The activities supposed data collecting, processing, analyzing and interpretation. In the end we draw the conclusions.
