Abstract: The pandemic caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus led to social distanc­ing measures in this context, universities temporarily closed in Romania and most states of the world. The educational process has moved to the online en­vironment, taking place through online platforms. According to General Com­ment No. 13 of the Committee for Economic, Social and Civil Rights 140, ed­ucation is characterized by four elements in an interdependent relationship, namely availability, accessibility, acceptability, and adaptability. Thus, the state must provide institutions and educational programs, which provide li­braries and digital facilities, accessible to students. The accessibility of educa­tional institutions refers to three aspects: non-discrimination, accessibility from a geographical point of view, and accessibility from an economic point of view, which implies that education does not involve too high costs. Acceptability concerns aspects related to the form and content of education, from teaching methods to the curriculum, and adaptability represents how the educational process can adapt to the needs of changing societies.
