Summary/Abstract: The modernist system of education was building, since the 17th century, the structure of a social system, including values, in regard of cultural, religious, national rules and norms. This system was leading to an organized national and universal system of values, and of the well-established social/cultural/political roles. The crash of this system was announced by Nietzsche. In other ways, after a few decades, by the avangardist movements, during the '30s. The postmodernist era, since about '70s, put face to face the communist system of education and, in the end, the postmodern strategy prevailed. In such circumstances, during all these 25 years since 1990, Romania is remodeling his own educational system in wrong directions, because national culture and history are almost erased. The actual curricula concerning humanities, is avoiding what is unanimous understood by national specificity.
