Abstract: Human activity is, a rational activity.In our opinion, this involves two main issues: on one hand,the finality of that,and on the other hand, the effort. We emphasized this because, the emphasis is only on this second aspect. Goods and services are structured according to various criteria. A group that still raises discussions in specialty literature because of its practical implications it divides them in private consumption goods and collective consumption goods. Our study is focused on the second category due to complex issues which involves, based on their way of production and supply and up to the way and consequences of their consumption. Collective consumption goods can be produced, financed and provided exclusively by public authorities, or can be produced and provided in different proportions both by the public authorities and by the market.We consider that it should be noted also the fact that collective consumption goods, although they satisfy with priority general, common and social needs, they satisfy, in certain circumstances, private and individual needs.Providing goods, by public authorities or by a free market, eventually accepting the state as a provider, became, lately, more and more to the attention of economic hought.There are arguments pro and against both regarding the market as well as regarding the state. The present study gives priority to suppling the education services by state,without neglecting the market implications.
