Perspectiva studiilor românești de la Facultatea de Filosofie a Universității din Novi Sad
Perspective of Romanian Studies at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Novi Sad

Summary/Abstract: With the establishment of cultural institutions and schools providing education in the languages of national communities in Vojvodina, the conditions were created for the harmonious and comprehensive development of the province’s multiethnic and multicultural society. This also enabled the nurturing, promotion, and equal development of all ethnic, national, religious, and other communities, particularly in the administrative centre of Vojvodina, Novi Sad. The main objectives of educational plans and curricula at the primary, secondary, and university levels can be expressed through core tasks such as designing, implementing, and continuously improving curricula, as well as ensuring ongoing scientific and professional development. In the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, five languages have official status: Serbian, Hungarian, Slovak, Romanian, and Ruthenian. Education in the mother tongue is available from preschool to higher education. At the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, higher education is provided in the mother tongue for four national communities, including through the Department of Romanian Language and Literature. This is of great importance for the Romanian community in Vojvodina because, in addition to our Department, Romanian (as a mother tongue) is offered in several higher-education institutions: in Vršac, through Professional Studies for Preschool Teachers/Educators; at the Teacher Education Faculty in Belgrade (Vršac branch); and in Belgrade, within the Faculty of Philology, where Romanian Language and Literature is taught as a foreign language within the Department of Romance Studies/Languages. Since 1974, the Romanian Language Lectorate  later the Chair of Romanian Language and Literature, and subsequently the Department of Romanian Language and Literature within the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad  has had and continues to pursue the mission of training highly qualified staff. This includes teachers of Romanian language and literature for primary and secondary education, as well as specialized professionals such as journalists, translators, librarians, language lecturers for the media, and editors and cultural workers in publishing houses and cultural institutions.
