Sorin Cristea In the southern area of the Republic of Moldova, on an area of 1832 square kilometers, the population counts a number of 171,000 inhabitants, mainly of Gagauz nationality, speak- ers of a Turkish origin language and culturally close to the Turks, but of a Christian-Orthodox confession. This space, with its three cities and 23 villages, is a multilingual one, 3 official lan- guages being spoken here: Romanian, Gagauz and Russian. It is a multiethnic region, located in an environment of common cultural values, but also different, derived from the culture of the ethnic groups that coexist: Gagauz (82%), Moldovans (4,7%), Russians (3,2%), Bulgarians (4,9%), Ukrainians (2,5%), other minorities (1%). The ethnic groups represented in this com- munity, living together over time, have developed relationships and exchanges of culture that happened naturally, without being planned or forced. The mixed environment created conditions for permanent contact of cultures which contributed to different interferences, manifested in free borrowings, changes and mutual enrichment. In this context, intercultural education of teacher training programs for students promote knowledge and respect for the culture, traditions and lifestyle of the ethnic communities, by all the inhabitants of the country and region, it constitutes an ideological option in demo- cratic societies and aims at the future citizens to make a better choice and direct themselves in the context of changes in value systems. Interculturality is above all respect for differences, it creates favorable conditions for initial professional training of teachers, for their preparation for intercultural education in the field of general education. Comrat State University (USC) is a public higher education institution, the successor of the National University of Gagauzia, opened by the joint decision of the Russian Foundation for Education and the District Executive Committee of the People’s Assembly on February 11, 1991, founded by Government Decision no. 408 of 01.08.1991. In 2002, it is accredited by the Government of the Republic of Moldova, and in 2015, by the decision of the National Council for Accreditation and Attestation (NCAA), it is scientifically accredited and given the qualifica- tion: Nationally Competitive Organization. Currently, USC operates on the basis of the existing legislative framework and operates in compliance with the principles of the University Charter and internal regulations. Fully in- tegrated in the process of restructuring higher education, the institution has developed a specific institutional personality, respecting the regional, national and international demands imposed by the society. In this context, the issue of interculturality - with important conse- quences for intercultural and multilingual education - is a priority within the educational poli- cies of USC, the university assuming the role of multicultural academic institution for educa- tion, research and heritage preservation of Gagauz culture. 4 University Curriculum Intercultural Education Having an important role in the training of qualified specialists, especially for the southern area of the Republic of Moldova, USC assumes the mission of training specialists with higher professional qualifications by offering theoretical/practical knowledge, needed to ensure the efficiency of the educational process. The University offers bachelor and master’s degree programs in a wide range of fields, adapting curricular restructuring measures, focusing on learning contexts from an intercul- tural perspective. USC develops scientific research and provides training programs based on demands of the socio-economic environment in the region, training specialists in the fields: education, economy, agriculture and law, within the 4 existing faculties, imposed by the re- quirements of a free market economy. The University has a specialized teaching staff (114 teachers, about 60% of Gagauz eth- nicity), who ensure the realization of the educational process and the research-development programs, having as objective the orientation towards competitiveness and performance, in order to integrate in the circuit of multicultural values and providing educational services rec- ognized at national and European level for 1570 students, of which: Gagauz students - 67,6%, Bulgarians - 15,9%, Moldovans/Romanians -10,7%, Ukrainians - 5,3%, Russians - 4,8%, Roma 0,3%. This is also the university where students from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Kazakh- stan, and Russia come to do their studies. The teaching staff is made up of full-time tenured staff, about 60% of them-university professors, doctors, university lecturers. A good part of them have an international didactic-scientific experience as a result of internships,

Trubceac A key social driver in The Republic of Moldova, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, has been the establishment of a state education system that emphasizes cultural pluralism and interculturalism. Educational research about the Republic of Moldova shows an increased motivation among contemporary secondary education social studies teachers to incorporate multicultural education and to enhance their professional skills in helping students to deal with violence, conflicts, and interethnic, linguistic, and cultural tensions. In the Republic of Moldova, secondary education social studies are required by the state education system to teach civic and citizenship education for the purpose of developing a harmonious society. However, there are no formal or required multicultural and peace education dimensions in Moldova’s system of education. In order for Moldovan youth to successfully understand the historic and contemporary ethnic

    A TEMPUS STUDY EN 10.2797/48753 Overview of the Higher Education Systems in the Tempus Partner Countries Eastern Europe Tempus Issue 11 ― November 2012 http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/tempus Overview of the Higher Education Systems in the Tempus Partner Countries Eastern Europe This document has been produced within the framework of the European Union's Tempus programme, which is funded by the EuropeAid Development and Co-operation Directorate-General and the Directorate-General for Enlargement. It has been prepared by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) on the basis of contributions from the Tempus Offices and the authorities concerned. The approach and data collection have been implemented in collaboration with Eurydice, the network on education systems and policies in Europe. Preface The Tempus programme, launched in 1990, is one of the longest standing EU-funded programmes in the field of education. During more than 20 years of its existence, Tempus has supported the modernisation of higher education in the Partner Countries outside the European Union, namely in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Western Balkans and in the Southern Mediterranean. In order to carry out Tempus projects with higher education institutions in the Tempus Partner Countries, the knowledge of the system in which the institutions operate is crucial for the success of project activities. The higher education systems of the Partners Countries operate in different contexts and have different historical backgrounds. For this reason, the definition of the needs and the objectives of the projects should be based on knowledge of the reality in the country concerned and should take into account the existing policies and legislative developments.
