A TikTok Teacher Changed Education in Romania: 200 Thousand Students Following Her Lessons

It is said that mathematics is undoubtedly the quintessence of complexity. But for Loredana Pelencianu, mathematics is a source of power. The mathematics teacher from Romania became popular on TikTok and Instagram, where she breaks down complex problems into simple components. Over 200 thousand students are tuning in to her video lessons, escaping the darkness of mathematics thanks to Loredana.

Loredana believes that the key to success is finding students where they are, and even mathematics can be interesting. Her story proves that in the teaching landscape, innovation and charisma can work true wonders.

In the Chernivtsi Lyceum, on the contrary, a rather unpleasant situation occurred. During a geography lesson, a teacher insulted a student by calling him 'a beast' when he asked to switch to Ukrainian. The incident happened despite the law on language instruction in Ukrainian schools.
