Ioan-Aurel Pop i-a identificat pe responsabilii eșecului școlii românești: "progresişti, neomarxişti, globalişti, anulatorii culturii și treziţi”
Ioan-Aurel Pop criticizes the Romanian education reform, arguing it prioritizes competencies over systematic knowledge. He emphasizes the importance of teaching history chronologically, particularly regarding communism, to understand Romania's past. Pop believes recent educational changes have led to a fragmented approach, replacing traditional structures with thematic studies. He warns that students lack basic historical knowledge, which affects their understanding of culture. Pop also challenges the notion that focusing on national history is incompatible with European identity, asserting that understanding one's history is essential for grasping broader contexts. He calls for a return to a coherent educational framework.
