School number 2

Between 1910 - 1912, the Jewish community of Răducăneni decided to build a primary school (of the Spiru Haret type) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiru_Haret at the initiative of a Jewish merchant, F Zinger. This school had 3 classrooms and a teachers' room. Between 1924 – 1940, the boys and girls were separated and received different education. The so-called "boy's school" was managed by Mr. Vasile Mardare while the so-called "girl's school" was managed by Ms. Olga Iacomi.

 

Instruction was provided in both Yiddish and Romanian, in Yiddish by Jewish teachers and in Romanian by teachers from the local Romanian school.

 

The building still exists and functions today as a primary school for pupils between the ages of 9 -11.  There are 6 teachers, all women.

 

The building needs renovation but due to lack of funds it is practically impossible to undertake any work of this kind.
