CRISTINA BOGDAN: ”Reformele actuale din educație sunt o catastrofă” | iCarte, iParte Podcast Ep. 24

Tonight's episode features a candid dialogue with Cristina Bogdan, a university lecturer specializing in the history of mentalities and cultural anthropology, with over 25 years of experience in higher education. The discussion addresses how reading has transformed with technology, but also the importance of preserving the habit of reading, even in the digital age. Cristina emphasizes that the "bookworm" is not defined by the medium on which he reads, but by the desire to be informed and the discipline to read frequently. The influence of classic authors such as Dostoevsky and Rilke on personal and professional formation is discussed, as well as the impact of the Bible and spirituality. Cristina speaks openly about the problems of the educational system, educational reforms, the declassification of the teaching profession and the migration of parents to private schools for their children. Students of yesterday and today are compared, noting the change in motivation: from passion for teaching to pragmatism and orientation towards more diverse careers. Cristina believes that a good teacher is one who is attentive to students and feedback, but also that the educational system needs real reforms, including in curricula and the way teachers are evaluated. The topics addressed also touch on the way we talk about death, traditions, religion and adapting to rapid changes – with an emphasis on the importance of remaining authentic, creative and open to dialogue. Finally, Cristina shares that imagination and authenticity are essential, she recommends that young people be themselves and not be afraid of change, regardless of the social or professional context.
