University of Craiova

(S/F/D; Englischsprachiges Lehrangebot, Mindestsprachniveau: Englisch B1)
By the 18th century, Bishop Damaschin of the Ramnic Archdiocese suggested the establishment ?a higher school to serve the region of Oltenia?, an idea which was to be incorporated by the leader of the Revolution of 1848, Nicolae Balcescu, and his supporters in the "Declaration of Islaz".
This first initiative regarding the establishment of the University of Craiova was made public by the high standing academic and politician I. H. Radulescu who submitted the "Declaration of Islaz" on June 9, 1848. This declaration criticized the private education of the time, which was considered as "not offering equal opportunities to all those willing to study in Romanian schools". Thus, the new constitutional provision was that "an education equal for all, progressive, holistic, adapted to everyone´s needs as far as possible, and with no tuition fees" should be established.
The failure of the Revolution of 1848 negatively impacted on these ideals, but the school reforms that followed were based on revolutionary principles. Thus, in the context of the 1859 Union of the Romanian Principalities, the Law of public instruction, adopted in 1864, established the framework for the modernisation of Romanian education and made its implementation possible in all principalities.
Important roles in the restructuring of the Romanian education system were played by great public figures such as: Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Mihail Kogalniceanu, G. Costaforu, Spiru Haret etc.
