National Education As Part of the Science of Administration: The Perspective of Anton Golopenția

Summary/Abstract: The strength of a nation lies in how it chooses (and succeeds) to guide its youth, that is, to secure its future. Overcoming periods of crisis, the preservation of the national potential and the development of a nation directly depend on the administrative science that a state adopts and implements, as well as on the quality of the professionals involved in this system. The concern of Anton Golopentia (1909–1951), a close collaborator of Professor Dimitrie Gusti (1880–1955), for administrative science also entailed theorizing on the science of education, a vital dimension for the future of any nation. Determined to identify the flaws of the education system of his time, Golopentia is one of the Romanian thinkers who managed to provide not only an honest analysis, but also a series of guidelines for a reform of national education.
