Reference Points of the Education Reform in 19th Century Moldavia: Filaret Scriban

Summary/Abstract: The theological education system in Moldova has had throughout its history, largely, a constant evolution, but and evolution marked by some jumps in terms of quality and the approach of the pedagogical process. One of these episodes of progress is due to Filaret Scriban. What made Filaret a professor of theology able to sustain a consistent reform of education was the education he received in his family, and especially by attending the educational institutions such as Mihaileanu Academy of Iasi and the Theological Academy in Kiev. Throughout his studies, and as a teacher, he wrote and published several important books, and most importantly, theological school textbooks. In this respect, Filaret was a true pioneer. Filaret’s work in the organization of theological education had results in the entire region of Moldova as the seminar he led had graduates became in their turn teachers in other schools.
