  • The Moldova State University in Present
    The History of the Moldova State University . The Moldova State University was founded on October 1, 1946 as the State University of Chisinau. Its creation was a milestone for the development, strengthening and consolidation of the higher education of the country. The MSU is a classic type of institution and its noble mission is to offer qualitative education and training of highly skilled specialists. 5 faculties were opened initially at the State University of Chisinau (Physics and Mathematics, Geology and Soil Science, Biology, Chemistry, History and Philology). During the first year 320 people were enrolled in 12 departments; the educational process was guided by the academic staff of 35. In 1958, department of part-time and correspondence education was opened at the State University of Chisinau; and, this form of education is still used at some faculties. In order to facilitate the training of young professionals the evening section had been providing training for many years (1958-1981). During 1946-1988, the institution, as a part of the Soviet system of education was under the management of Moscow. Beginning from 1969, the State University of Chisinau is a member of the International Association of Universities. The MSU soon became a recognized leader of the national system of higher education in the country. It has always been responsive to the society demands; thus, the new departments and faculties were created: the Faculty of Economics (1953-1991, 2002), the Faculty of Law (1959), the Faculty of Engineering and Technology (1959), the Faculty of Foreign Languages (1964), the Faculty for Training Foreign Students (1967), the Faculty of Journalism (1980), the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology (1994), the Faculty of Political Science (1995), Computer Centre (1973), Central University Library (1994).

  • Competing Identities the Construction of National Identity in the Republic of Moldova
    COMPETING IDENTITIES THE CONSTRUCTION OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA Valentin Florin Ion “A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Russian and East European Studies.” Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Robert M. Jenkins Graeme Robertson Peter Sherwood ©2013 Valentin Florin Ion ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract VALENTIN FLORIN ION: Competing Identities The Construction of National Identity in the Borderland Moldova (Under the direction of Robert M. Jenkins) This paper discusses the competing processes for national identity construction in the Republic of Moldova between a Moldovan national identity and a Romanian national identity. The paper follows three main theories of national identity construction coined by Keith Darden, David Laitin and Rogers Brubaker and surveys the implementation of mass schooling in interwar Romania, the shift in national identity of Moldova during the Soviet Union and the process of national identity building in independent Moldova. I argue that the group who controls institutions also controls the future identity of the country. The education system is the main creator of national identity and after the collapse of the Soviet Union the Moldovan education system was controlled by the pro-Romanian identity groups. I conclude that the number of Moldovans who self-identify with Romanian language has increased significantly in the last two decades. iii Acknowledgement I would like to thank my advisor Robert M. Jenkins for guidance and patience in the process of writing this paper. He supported me throughout both academic years of a growth process at the UNC Chapel Hill.

  • REPUBLIC of MOLDOVA the Political Leadership of The
    COUNTRY: REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA The political leadership of the country recognizes the need to promote gender equality in the society; a number of government documents were adopted in this area. There are favourable political conditions in the light of the Moldovan course towards integration into the European Union. Gender analysis of the educational system at the institutional and procedural level reveals the functionality of the system de jure and de facto. Among the basic documents regulating the system of education in the Republic of Moldova the following should be mentioned: the Law on ensuring Equal Opportunities between Women and Men (2006), the National Program on Ensuring Gender Equality in the Republic of Moldova for 2010-2015, the National Strategy "Education for All" (2003), the National Curriculum, the Professionals Standards for education system, Education Code of the Republic of Moldova (2014), Education Development Strategy for 2014-2020 „Education 2020”, Education Development Strategy for vocational / technical education for 2013-2020. Thus, legal normative framework guarantees the right to education regardless of nationality, sex, etc. The state guarantees equal opportunities to access the institutions of secondary education, vocational, and higher education level, depending on skills and capacities/abilities. There are no legal requirements discriminating girls or boys in terms of access to general education or university. As a result of the equal chances of all children to education, regardless of sex, there are no separate

  • The European Studies in Higher Education in Moldova Valentina
    EU TEMPUS project “Innovating Teaching and Learning of European Studies” (INOTLES) Policy Paper Series, No.2/2017 The European Studies in Higher Education in Moldova Valentina Cornea Cahul State University Email: [email protected] Summary This policy paper provides a diagnosis of the European Studies in Moldova and advances some recommendations. It examines the interaction between internal and external stimuli that impact an academic field, in this case the European Studies, both having equal importance. The analysis is focused on the Master studies in public and private higher education institutions. The first section reflects upon the state of European studies in Moldova. The second section provides a historical overview and data on European Studies. The last section of the paper analyzes the role of internal and external factors in the development of European Studies curricula. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving curricula and suggestions regarding the multidisciplinary approach of European studies. INOTLES Working Paper Series 2 Innovating Teaching and Learning European Studies: www.inotles.eu 1. Reflections on the concept of “European Studies” One of the six major objectives of the Bologna process, to which Moldova adhered, is to promote European studies (ES) and education for Europe. Before talking about the promotion of ES in Moldova, it is necessary to assess what do we mean by ES, and then examine the organizational arrangements for their teaching. ES is broadly defined as studies about the European Union (EU) (Smith 2003, p.3), studies of European integration (Rumford and Murray 2003), but also studies about all European processes and issues, multidisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary.
