ORGANIZAREA ÎNVĂȚĂMÂNTULUI SUPERIOR PEDAGOGIC ÎN RSS MOLDOVENEASCĂ. 1944–1945

Abstract

Organization of pedagogical higher education in the Moldovan SSR. 1944–1945. The problem of the shortage of teachers for general education, declared compulsory and free by the Stalinist Constitution of 1936 and massified by the educational policies of the Soviet state, was a general dominant of the regime long after the end of the world war. This problem was all the more important in the first post-war years and especially in the Romanian territories re-annexed in the last phase of the Soviet-German war. In the present study, based on archival documents, the author fol- lows the feverish process of re-establishing / creating a higher pedagogical education in the Moldovan SSR in the conditions in which these territories were still a theater of war. The conditions under which the two pedagogical higher education institutions – the Pedagogical Institute from Chisinau and the Educational Institute from Tiraspol – were determined to activate and produce teachers for Moldovan SSR schools in the 1944–1945 school year, demonstrate the importance of education for the forma- tion of social and political bases of the Soviet regime.
