CALITATEA ÎN EDUCAŢIE – FORMAL PRIN NONFORMAL - Quality in Education - Formal through Nonformal (Romanian Version)

The dynamics of the last decades highlights the need for quality in education for at least four reasons: moral, contextual, from the desire to survive in a competitive environment, but also out of responsibility (schools are constantly subject to appreciation and evaluation from its educational partners: pupils, parents, community, and society). It is in its name that projects are initiated, resources are researched and used, arguments are brought forward, initiatives that are considered ,,good practices†are launched. In this article, I envisage how the new education (made through reading clubs, role-plays, transdisciplinary projects) brings the educational process closer to the pupils' daily life and to the needs of the community, by exemplifying the non-formal activities that I have carried out in school, together with my colleagues and students. Activities such as these demonstrate that non-formal education successfully accompanies formal education and it remains one of the best ways to support the pleasure of knowing and affirming originality.
