This paper seeks to highlight how the post-pandemic crisis has brought to light an unpleasant reality of globalization, namely the deepening of inequality between people, especially among young people. In a global society, in which it was increasingly difficult to access education, the emergence of a virus that led to a pandemic has only rendered the problems of mankind into chronic, enduring issues; the crisis made its presence felt in the economy, in healthcare, and the political crisis was the last proverbial straw. In the current context, there is a decline in living standards, increasing inflation, a sharp volatility of the free market, a migration crisis, and a declining interest in education, coupled with increasingly difficult access to it. So far, Romania has managed, thanks to the publicprivate partnership, but also to some programs with European funding, to reduce the number of school dropouts; however, this phenomenon has not completely disappeared. Whether we are ready for what is to come remains to be seen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the issue of reading literature in the present-day academic milieu, in particular, and in the deeply computerised contemporary public space, in general. After pointing out some of the key aspects that teachers and professors need to observe in order to help students develop their reading skills, the study highlights the specificity that narratives, poems and plays display in relation to the parameter investigated and the functions of language. While explaining the relationship of coordination between literature and linguistics, the paper defends the authenticity of the act of reading, which has suffered serious mutations since the advent of the Internet.

This paper discusses how the culture and the use of digital technologies can support a change of the training of intercultural competences in the teachinglearning- assessment process, in order to better respond to the needs of the education system. Nowadays, the interconnection between education and culture cannot be analyzed, through the discussion and selection of best practices, without identifying the role played by technology in this process. The integration of digital technology in training programs at all levels, from primary school to higher education and continuing professional development, now applies to everyday pedagogical life being influenced by the intercontextual and intercultural dimensions. Digitalization in education requires drawing the coordinates that, in addition to training and developing the digital skills of educational agents, transpose digital citizenship through ethical conduct, taking into account the social, cultural and philosophical diversity of digital in society.

During the course of the following paper I aime to investigate possible reasons for the impressive results that countries in East and South-East Asia have obtained at the PISA examinations that take place every three years. These examinations include three tests: Math, Science and Reading. What I have found is that there are more than one reasons that contribute to this type of succes. The main three that I have chosen to present are first and foremost: an unique cultural climate where education is highly prized by the members of the community and the role of teachers is aknowkedged as being central to the development of society. Secondly, different parenting methods can also be cited as influencing educational outcome. Thirdly, we have an education system that has a strong and well funded public school system but also a vast network of options outside the state provided system that includes cram schools, language schools and online schools, parents there showing a very high willingness to invest in extra classes and educational options outside the public education system.

The European social models that emerged in Europe are answers to various problems faced by micro and macroeconomic activity. An insight into the economic situation of all European social models emphasizes that the Nordic model has the highest efficiency in terms of economic results. The states that belong to the scandinavian model are characterized by stable economic growth, strong social democracy, a strong trade union movement, low levels of corruption and universality of the system that helps companies to overcome difficult moments. This paper highlights the micro and macroeconomic policies that have led to economic stability and very good results in terms of living standards. The main hypothesis of the paper assumes that investments in education and workforce improvement led to the growth of the living standards in the Scandinavian model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Creating and promoting an ethical culture in educational institutions is as complex as it is necessary in the current context. Ethical culture in the universities is important because it influences the ethical behavior of members of the academic community and can contribute to the development of students' character. Moral values, once assumed, help us to become better human beings, with an ethical perspective on the decisions making, including respect for others, honesty, equality, etc. Studies have shown that moral standards can be improved through education. In order to educate character leaders, modern universities must ensure both access to ethical education and access to an appropriate ethical climate. The purpose of this article is to explore the framework on which ethical culture in universities is based and the tools that can contribute to its development. The paper also addresses the relationship between institutional ethical culture and ethical behavior of students after graduation. The article argues that a university that develops an ethical culture can contribute to the development of ethical and professional behaviors of graduates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

B. Spinoza (1632-1677) is one of the central figures in the history of philosophy that has significantly influenced the Western culture. Generally known as a rationalist, Spinoza was less widely accepted as a philosopher of education, although such an outline is outlined in his writings. An explanation for this may be that in none of his works did Spinoza explicitly address education. However, concepts, values and implications of ethical theory that are particularly relevant in educational endeavors can be easily identified in Spinozian texts. In this paper we intend to explore the conceptual resources provided by Spinoza that underlie the moral education and place them in the contemporary educational context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

THE PAPER PRESENTS THE NEED TO IMPROVE THE ADAPTATION OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM TO THE CHANGING LABOR MARKET NEEDS IN ORDER TO INTERCONNECT WITH THE LABOR MARKET. CHANGES IN THE LABOR MARKET THAT ARE NOT FOLLOWED BY THE ADAPTATION OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM CREATE IMBALANCES AND INCONSISTENCIES. IN THE TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY IN WHICH WE LIVE, THE DYNAMICS OF THE LABOR MARKET IS UNPRECEDENTED. CHILDREN WHO ARE TODAY IN PRIMARY OR MIDDLE SCHOOL SHOULD BE TRAINED FOR WHAT WILL BE OVER 10-20 YEARS. MANY PROFESSIONS WILL DISAPPEAR IN A FEW YEARS AND NEW ONES WILL APPEAR. THE SKILLS THAT EMPLOYEES WILL NEED IN THE FUTURE WILL BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM TODAY'S. BUT SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY SHOULD NOT ONLY CREATE SIMPLE, EFFICIENT WORKERS. WE MUST NOT FORGET THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR A GENERAL CULTURE, CREATIVITY AND KNOWLEDGE TO HELP GRADUATES TO LIVE WELL AND OUT OF WORK. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lately we are speaking increasingly more about progress, peace, cooperation, understanding and integration in the context of increased efforts to level the inherent differences between individuals or groups of individuals, belonging to different cultural and ideological traditions. But if we do not want all these aspirations to lead to a new Tower of Babel, it must be borne in mind the consideration as a whole and as a particular the real anthropological context of human development, in terms of immanentotranscendental axiology, the two coordinate whose balance determines the progress and the regress of history. From this perspective, the practical approach to an issue so ambitious is obliged to take into account, first the importance both of the spiritual and rational factor understood in its full forming dimension. This paper is intended to be a concise and systematic exposure of the missionary and proselyte thinking and its relationships with the process of secularization in the democratic environment of the XXI century.

In this paper the author deals with the issue of the Romanian language in the Moldavian SSR during the first postwar years. CC of the CP(B) from Moldavian SSR tried several times to determine the loyal researchers from the Institute of Scientific Research to organize teams for writing textbooks of Romanian (named by them Moldavian) language and literature. Also existed the intention to organize courses for Party staff the main part of whom came from abroad and didn't know the Romanian language. All these attempts failes as it shows the report of V. Efimenko who came from Moscow to evaluate the situation of the national staff in the republic in 1947. Even if Moldavian were 68% of inhabitants, in Universities only 25% of students had Moldavian origin. The question of the language was discussed also by writers, but they hadn't the initiative on this topic and waited for suggestions from above. For the majority of the inhabitants the main problem concerning the enseignment was the lack of the textbooks of Romanian Language and Literature, and that's why several times the newspaper were used as source of working texts. This first stage of avatars of the Romanian language in Moldavian SSR ends in 1948 when the Ministery of Education organized a control at the Pedagogical Institute from Chisinau, to establish the way the language and literature were taught. The conclusion was that at the Institute had no textbboks on several courses and the Council of Ministers from Moldavian SSR had to impose the Institute of History, Language and Literature to elaborate the programs for teaching Moldavian language and literature in Universities.

This paper aims to analyze the link between unemployment and inflation, on the one hand, and spending on education, on the other hand. The analyzed period is 1996-2010 and the data used provided to the National Institute of Statistics and Eurostat. Were calculated relative change of the final expenditure of households, relative change in the share of education spending in total household consumption while identifying the relationship between these indicators. We calculated the correlation coefficients between these indicators. After analyzing the data it was found that, during 1996-2010, the correlation coefficient between the change in the unemployment rate and the change in the expenditure on education in final consumption of households has a value close to 1, so a direct relationship strong, and the rate of change inflation and the change in the expenditure on education in final consumption of households is negative and close to zero, therefore an inverse, but weak. Therefore, expenditures on education are directly influenced by the evolution of the unemployment rate, but not inflation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to summarize a series of specific arguments for Dewey s "new type of education " reprezenting a new beginning for the way in which democracy should be applied into all the spheres of social and political life, and especially in education. The pragmatic conception of knowledge is enriched in the Dewey's view by a social dimension impossible to ignore. If the pragmatism insists on the idea of knowledge as a tool to adapt to the environment, and if the human environment is essentially social, then knowledge has a fundamental social dimension, which must be taken into account in organizing education. Therefore, from a Deweyanperspective, education in a democratic context must try to be integrative in regard to societal particularities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A review of intelligence literature from Romania last century provides an overview of the concerns and themes addressed by the specialists in the field. The main topics are the history landing field and related case studies. Up to this point there is no major paper on the theory of scientific intelligence domain particular to Romanian historical and ideological framework, which bear the mark of identity of this nation. Lack of this theory of domain led to the evolution and development of an intelligence system based mainly on the operational or practical current activities and out of line with other competitive systems of intelligence. As a result, this development has been marked by a certain type of agnatological intelligence in detriment of an epistemological intelligence, necessary for all, especially those in the operational plan. Throughout history, these latter came to substitute, perhaps unintended, the roles of the trinominal research-education-operational, subjugating research and education tasks through operational, without distinguish existence of mental maps and different knowledge cycles.

The development of any field relies heavily on its capacity to identify, select and define a body of key-concepts and theories, an episteme1, that would provide the theoretical basis for any future research in the field. The on-going debates both inside the Romanian intelligence and academic communities regarding the intelligence activities taking place in this country are still lacking substance and drive, in comparison with global social and technological development. Moreover, there is a need for more academically-grounded papers in the field that would address in a systematic and detailed manner issues related to security and intelligence. In this context, the purpose of this article, the first from a future series, is to shed some light on various meanings of the terms security and intelligence so that we may reach a common understanding on the nature of intelligence in a Romanian context so that we may make the first steps towards developing a theory and a doctrinal framework that will contribute to the process of building a national intelligence system in Romania.

At the moment, Romanian society feels the problems of the modern individual, of the pupil who hesitates between the family and the school environment, by trying to educate him in the spirit of consciousness and the moral. It is necessary to know that education and self-education hold the need and the availability of every person to form at school (or during the period of its schooling), but also in society. The media attract more and more the attention of the young people to the detriment of the reading and of the discovery of their own identity. Our approach suggests putting in the foreground the importance of the literary text of the textbooks of Romanian language as a means of promotion of the moral values. The study of the literary texts represents a method of reception of the models of language used by writers in their papers. At the same time, their "communicative" models contributes to the orientation of the pupils to the non-literary texts (that they discover easily in magazines and newspapers) towards those literary persons, over whom they bend with interest; in this way, the act of reading acquires new valences.

This paper aims to achieve an analysis of the measures taken at the secondary level of education in the first decade of interwar period, underlining that despite the economic, social and political difficulties faced by Romania after World War I, education and culture were seen as tools that grind humanity and create the pillars of the society. This study emphasizes the interest of the legislative power to promote education in order to raise the cultural level of the masses, focusing on the main movements made toward the adoption of fundamental laws that organize studies in secondary schools. Therefore, it examines educational policy in terms of renewal and modernization at the secondary level of education, marking initiatives that advocated the role of schools in shaping the masses and the importance of educational reform in the general welfare of the Romanian society. Overall, it became obvious that in the search for adequate material, social, financial, economic or agricultural solutions, the consolidation can be accomplished only by a deep moral reform, reform which cannot be achieved other way than by school.

The current article is aimed at highlighting the general aspects of the relationship between the ageing process and non-formal education. The global context, described as presenting various challenges, does not seem favorable at all to the elderly who are forced by specific circumstances to develop into important social actors for the next half of the century. With demographic ageing reaching an escalating level, it is widely agreed the fact that feasible solutions are to be introduced in our discussion. Therefore, adequate social programs meant to raise awareness while minimizing the risk of societies' malfunctions proved to be our uppermost concern. Many characteristics of social assistance contribute to answering the needs of certain social categories, but with respect to the present situation, a single attribute comes to proeminence: that of proactively using the educational function. Pursuing our objective, we advocate shaping the lifestyle of the, generally speaking, old person through lifelong education and in this case the role of the social worker is marked by his catalysis dimension to ensure a subtle transition from the methodology centered on the professional to „elder” target. Furthermore, we are trying to provide an insight into the main roles played by the social worker in what regards the process of education. At the end of the article, we cast light on essential elements considering the professional supervision of the social worker in their relationship with the beneficiary. All points considered, the information provided by the paper is issued on the basis of the author's previous practical experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The works of the Metropolitan Bishop Bartolomeu Anania (1921-2011) comprises various aspects of both the Romanian (and universal) spirituality and the ecclesiastical one; the last one include his Pastorals, which he addressed to the clergy and believers of the Archiepiscopate of Vad, Feleac and Cluj and had written for Christmas and Easter during 1993-2010 (the 1993 Easter and the 2010 Christmas); from great number of spiritual teachings of the above mentioned Pastorals, we presented in this paper only the ones which referred to the Christian Family; although he did not wanted to present exclusively this issue, in one of them we find out important references to the Christian family; the monogamous marriage is a divine will; chastity before marriage is a divine commandment; giving birth to children inside the marriage is Godlike; children, adolescents and young people who intend to get married shall receive elect religious education; he speaks about the good relationships between husband and wife; he also speaks about original sins such as: abortion, adultery, homosexuality etc; his piece of advice is very important in a world which is in a material and spiritual crisis, in a drift epoch, in which, more than ever, people are threatened to get out forever from the history of the world.

Education and health are components of human capital, but also of human development. Man, through his creative force, it was considered an economic resource. Although intangible assets - human capital as main component of intellectual capital - are those that generate growth and development, we are currently witnessing a paradigm shift in economic and social fi eld: human been is no longer regarded as a resource, as means to growth and development, but his welfare constitutes the very purpose of growth and development. This paper aims to present some interdependences between education and health as components of human development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on experiences from 2012 to present, as a lecturer in Romanian language, culture and civilization at Beijing Foreign Studies University, the author traces the history of the Romanian language Lectureship in China. He sketches the ancient and current profile of Romanian Department, the factors that determined the evolution of Romanian language study in China, encouraging aspects, but also the challenges that inevitably occur. In addition to the positive outlook of Romanian Section's evolution, the interest and good training of the Chinese teachers, appropriate equipment with technical means, beautiful and efficient work atmosphere, the author also refers to shortcomings, especially to the insufficient and outdated books found in Romanian, despite the efforts of staff Department to edit the practical courses, dictionaries and other teaching aids, highly useful and necessary. Missing are current linguistic studies and other academic papers, required especially for students in their final years, as the documentary sources for license and master's theses. The direct experience of the author is complemented by reflections, testimonies and information received from departmental colleagues, especially because some of them have directly experienced these changes as students, and several years later, as teachers. The author highlights the specific conditions existing at the Beijing Foreign Studies University, the specific approaches, which clearly distinguish the Romanian learning methodology as a foreign language by the modern languages teaching strategy in Romania or in other parts of the world. The differences are caused by the short time in which the students must form their linguistic competence. Because students starts from level zero, it is necessary to shift focus from the theoretical approaches to the communicative-pragmatic and functional aspect and sometimes consequently their miss integrative skills on Romanian culture and civilization, in the synchronic and diachronic perspective. The author, a Romanian lecturer and native speaker, is considered an important resource, trying to fill by the various strategies, the lack of direct contact with the socio-linguistic and cultural Romanian environment.
