Mrs. Laura-Elena Sună is from Iași, Romania and has over 20 years of experience in education, both in the UK and in Romania. She has been succeeding for some time to bring this experience to fruition at the “Nicolae Iorga” Romanian School in Birmingham as Teacher.
Her approach to the educational act is based both on the conclusions drawn after 12 years of teaching English and Romanian in Romania, and over 9 years in the British educational system, but as well based on the study of second language teaching techniques (the target language) from her Master’s and Doctoral studies carried out by her on this topic.
Mariana Plamadeala is from Ialoveni, Republic of Moldova and has over 8 years of accumulated experience in managing communities and community projects. In 2018, in Birmingham, when she heard more and more often – children from Romanian families who spoke only English to each other – she decided to make a change.
Thus she ended up laying the foundations of the R.U.D.A association in 2019, and in 2020 – to open the “Nicolae Iorga” Romanian School Birmingham which has an integrated method of teaching the Romanian language. Together with Professor Laura-Elena Suna, for 2 years now they have been able to create successfully a community so necessary for the school alongside the parents who guide their children towards everything what Romania means. The school program is created by the Teacher with the support of the Coordinator and with the consultation of the other Nicolae Iorga schools in the UK.

Faithful to the culture and the mother tongue, Laura advocates for the teaching approach in creating a friendly environment, in which children can gradually learn aspects of the Romanian language, culture and civilization, starting from what is familiar to them and transferring and comparing knowledge acquired in school British.
“The child must be at the center of the educational act, that’s why we try to respond, as much as possible, to individual needs, however varied they may be in our Romanian school” (L.E.S.)
