Fizicianul Nicolae Zamfir, vicepreședinte al Academiei: Aș fi urât fizica, dacă aș fi avut în liceu manualele de-a XII-a de acum. La fizică nucleară, jumătate din formule eu nu le-am folosit niciodată în cariera mea de nuclearist

Nicolae Zamfir criticizes the outdated high school physics textbooks in Romania, arguing they hinder students' understanding. He emphasizes the need for simplified curricula focused on fundamental concepts rather than complex formulas. Zamfir believes that textbook authors should be experienced teachers who understand the needs of the majority of students, not just high achievers. He also points out that recent educational reforms have been superficial, distracting teachers from effective teaching. His extensive background in nuclear physics and leadership roles in education highlights his authority on the subject.
