Abstract	The present article aims to investigate the dynamics of access to the upper secondary and tertiary levels of the educational career of several cohorts of Romanian adults born before 1985 by analyzing the expansion of educational levels and the dynamics of the inequalities in probabilities of access to these levels in Romania by applying the logistic response model to explain the variations in probabilities of realizing the transition to the vocational and the baccalaureate level in the upper secondary and to the higher education in the case of almost 5,000 Romanian citizens surveyed in 2010. The main result of the study is that, contrary to what is suggested by gross enrollment figures, throughout de decades of communism net access to education improved only in case of the vocational upper secondary school while the academic track just kept in pace with the evolution of the distribution of instruction of parents. In other words, the data provides strong support for the thesis of the ‘new class’, that states that the class of persons holding secondary level degrees, not Communist Party members especially, demanded a dramatic expansion of the academic high schools in order to preserve their educational status throughout the generation of their children and explain thus the expansion of academic track of the upper secondary in absolute figures although without improvements of access opportunities.
