The article is available on the revistasferapolitcii.ro website at: https://revistasferapoliticii.ro/sfera/pdf/Sfera_197-198.pdf#page=104In this article, I present (using non- formalized language) examples of theoretical solutions proposed by researchers focused on the study of mechanism design theory, with the purpose of solving specific educational policy issues based on the school choice principle. Focusing on the mechanisms that aim a controlled school choice by parents, I describe mechanisms whose objective is to implement affirmative policies (e.g., quotas for specific categories of students). At the same time, in this paper, I analyze the characteristics of the system through which the students are assigned to high-school in Romania, using “mechanism design theory“ literature."otherMechanism designSchool choiceHigh-school admissionEquality of opportunityRomaniaArticle
