If someone had told me in 2000 that just 15 years later the Bulgarian parliament would pass a law that, albeit in an imperfect and unclear and unfinished form, would legalize and recognize homeschooling, I would have laughed at them. Well, come on, not to laugh, but at least to smile...

After a series of investigative reports by Nova TV, this morning all print and online media started the day with unambiguous headlines like "The Ministry of Education admitted to mass cheating in the matriculation exams." In a very similar scenario, after complaints from the owner of "Aladdin Foods" and the National Association of Dairy Processors, another public secret was revealed, ...

International organizations, such as the UN, the EU, the World Bank, and the IMF, often emphasize how important education is for economic growth. This is a thesis with which I generally agree. Education is important and it is good for people to be educated. The logic of the prominent organizations, as well as the various private individuals who also …

The reason for this is mainly the fact that they allow us to compare the product of our educational system with that of ...

On July 17, in one of the smaller halls of the Balkan Hotel (former Sheraton) in the center of the capital, a conference was held under the title "Social Policy for Growth - the Right Path", organized by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, affiliated with Mrs. Merkel's party in Germany. The main idea of the event, as explained by the hosts, is ...

Yavor Ganchev In the last few days I have been living in a state of confusion. I want Oresharski's #resignation, but if possible Klisarova should remain Minister of Education for as long as possible.
