The role of the orthodox church in Moldova in the building of Romanian education in the Phanariot era

During the Phanariote era, in Moldova, a series of political and social changes took place, one of these changes is the emergence or re-establishment of several schools, many of them being mainly Romanian schools. The Phanariot lords began to realize the need for accessible education not only for the rich, but also for the common people, who were often deprived of the opportunity to study. In order to solve the country’s public problem, the gentlemen appealed to the help of the Orthodox Church, without which at that time it was impossible to build Romanian education, the organization of the process, and many schools where the language of the people was taught were established at monasteries, emblematic in this sense being the Putna monastery. Education in the Romanian language begins to be systematized in the church tent and accessible to the common people.
