Research about importance of Natural Sciences given to Romanian curriculum

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate importance of Natural Sciences given to Romanian curriculum. The hypothesis from which I started in development of this research was to study the framework plan of pre-university system and pre-university curriculum. The conclusion that emerges is the need of introduction a new discipline, from secondary schools, which will corroborate the interdisciplinary knowledge of biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography. This is founded on need of scientific literacy of future citizens, in the sense of understanding scientific concepts necessary for active participation of individuals in civic life, economic life and in community decision making.
