Description: In speaker's opinion, the current public education system hasn't really transformed 22 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Some of his main projects are ORIZONT-2025 (foresight workshops in support of the national strategy for sustainable development (under the auspices of the Romanian Presidential Administration); LEADERS FOR THE THIRD MILLENNIUM (youth leadership program of non-formal education); SCOALA PE BUNE / SCHOOL FOR REAL - the transformation of the School system in Romania; Introducing IB programs in the Romanian public school system; KNOWLEDGE-BASED ECONOMY (professional training for IT administrators and managers of the local community networks); PROFESSORIA – BETTER TEACHERS FOR OUR CHILDREN (inter-university collegial competition to design and implement master’s degree programs (in partnership with Dinu Patriciu Foundation); ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND LEADERSHIP IMPACT IN THE PRE-UNIVERSITY SCHOOL SYSTEM – PILOT-PROJECT IN BUCHAREST (in partnership with I.S.M.B.).

Jonathan Stillo, the TB expert quoted in The Sun: I feel terrible, the whole thing was completely taken out of context/ It's not OK that they turned a public health problem into this anti-Romanian message
On Wednesday, The Sun published an investigation saying that Romanians coming to the UK starting 2014, when the "doors will open" will infect the British with a deadly TB superbug. Jonathan Still, the TB expert quoted by the tabloid, explained in an interview for HotNews.ro that everything he said was taken out of context and that it is very "frustrating" and "not OK" that they turned a public health problem into an anti-Romanians thing, given that Romanians aren't the ones infecting everybody with TB.
- An American citizen, Stillo is a doctoral candidate in medical Anthropology at City University of New York Graduate Center (not a British researcher) and has been researching TB in Romania for the past 7 years. He says Romania is his second home.
Bucharest Tribunal decides sentenced ex-PM Adrian Nastase may leave on parole

Romania's veterinary and food control authority in alert as horse meat labelled as beef was found at local vendor
Romania's national veterinary and foot control authority ANSVSA initiated a quick response alert on Wednesday after it found horse meat labelled as beef at a company in Ilfov county near Bucharest, a press release says. ANSVSA says the meat was aimed at local market distribution and no connection could be made with the EU-level horse meat situation. The head of ANSVSA also announced he informed the police about what he called a form of intimidation, by which the horse meat was linked to an abattoir owned by his father.
Romanian businessman, politician receives 3 year sentence with conditional suspension of execution
Romanian businessman and politician Gigi Becali received on Monday a 3-year sentence with conditional suspension of execution in a case in which he was charged with forcefully retaining several people involved in a car theft. Becali, best known as the man who controls Bucharest football club Steaua and as a former member of the European Parliament turned member of the Romanian Parliament - is not in Romania for the moment. He announced last weekend that he was in Dubai and would not return before the court sentence.
- Shortly after the reading of the sentence, Becali told Romanian news TV channel RTV by phone that he was resigning from the National Liberal Party and that "I have nothing to do in that country [Romania] anymore".
OPINION Hezbollah, a security threat to Europe
The conclusions of the official investigation of the Bulgarian Government into the 18 July 2012 Burgas bus bombing are clear: the terrorist organization Hezbollah was directly responsible. (...) Terrorism has no boundaries and the time has come for the European Union to recognize Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and place it on its official list of terrorist entities.
