The “Ion Creangă” State Pedagogical University of Chisinau was formed according to the decision of the Moldovan Government of 16 August 1940, initially called the Moldovan State Pedagogical Institute, which in 1955 was renamed the “Ion Creangă” State Pedagogical Institute from Chisinau. In 1992, based on the Decision of the Government of the Republic of Moldova no. 330 of May 21 “Regarding the reorganization of the university education system”, the Institute is reorganized in the “Ion Creangă” State Pedagogical University of Chisinau.
In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education of July 20, 1946, besides the Institute was formed aspirantry, which trained specialists in philology, history, mathematics, physics, botany, etc. In 1948, the Institute began training English and French specialists. In connection with the necessity of training of physical education teachers, the Faculty of Physical Culture was opened in 1949. In the year of training, the Institute consisted of five faculties: History and Philology, Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Geography. In July 1941, the Institute was evacuated to the city of Cikalov, and in 1944 returned to the Republic with a contingent of 160 students and 20 teachers. The study began on December 1, 1944, with 458 students. The Teaching Staff of the Institute consisted of experienced cadres, scholars arriving from university centers in Iasi, Moscow, Bucharest, Rome, Kiev, Warsaw, Leningrad, etc.
With all the difficulties of the first post-war period of restoration of the national economy, already in the academic year 1950 – 1951, the 7 faculties – Philology, History, Physics and Mathematics, Biology, Geography, Modern Languages and Physical Culture – were studying 2368 students and 99 teachers, including 24 scientists, were active.
Following the reorganization in higher education, in the mid-1950s, the Faculty of Foreign Languages was transferred to the Pedagogical Institute in Balti and that of the Natural Sciences and Geography Sciences – at the Pedagogical Institute in Tiraspol.
In 1960 the Institute was disbanded and united with the State University. As a result of this measure, the material base of the Institute, with the three faculties – History, Philology, Physics and Mathematics, Physical Culture – was passed to the State University, and the primary school section – to the State Pedagogical Institute in Balti.
In connection with the increase of the need for teachers with higher education, the Soviet of Ministers of the Republic of Moldova on 9 May 1967 adopted the Decision on the restoration of the Institute, consisting of three faculties: Physics and Mathematics, Philology, Physical Culture.
In 1970, the Defectology specialty was opened, based on which, in 1973, the Faculty of Defectology was formed, which currently operates under the name of the Faculty of Special Psychology and Psychopedagogy. Also in the beginning of the 70’s began the training in the specialty History and Pedagogy, on which the Faculty of History and Geography was formed.

“It is said that a people can have an active role in civilization only after they are constituted as a nation, producing their great patrimony through the strongest and most original personalities. True personalities are formed through education, by forming attitude towards their own people, but also towards universal values, because by their attitude towards the world, we show who we are.
Nicolae Chicuş, Rector of U.P.S. “Ion Creangă” from Chisinau
At the present stage, when society passes through a difficult period, there is only one way to overcome it: raising the level of culture, enlightening the people by knowing scientific truth, returning to authentic spiritual values, rebirth of true national dignity, knowledge, promotion of national values, In fact, the democratization of our society.
In this context, I address first of all to our students, but also to the academic community, in general: to study all of us to build ourselves, to treat indifference and spiritual laziness, to take into account the soul of the people who is the only reservoir Of creative deeds, to preserve the veracity and honesty inherited from our ancestors, promoting truth, beauty, good. There can be no art, politics, and intellectual craft without bravery, without tenacity and intelligence.
There is much talk about European integration, world integration. Acquisition of universal values is possible only by preserving and capitalizing on the national specificity. You can not love the world if you do not love your own people, traditions, customs, culture. But, as Mihail Sadoveanu states, “The land is not served with declarations of love, but with honest work and, if necessary, with sacrifice … It does not mean hatred against other nations, but a duty to our people … Honest work, pure life, Seeds, the fulfillment of our debts – that is, the deeds – these are patriotism, not empty words.
This is why the “Ion Creangă” State Pedagogical University of Chisinau remains one of the most prestigious educational institutions, an important piece of the history of our nation, because it remained faithful to the same principles. We can not secure a future except by educating the younger generations, who must remember that nothing is more complete and perfect than history, and our country is all of us and more: it is all the terrible debt that comes From those who founded it, as Nicolae Iorga says. It is more than a belief, is what society needs at the current stage for what our teachers and students will continue to advocate. ”
