Bulgarian children study a lot of material, but they do not always acquire competencies. Learning should be interesting and engaging for young people, said PISA founder Andreas Schleicher. He is visiting Sofia at the invitation of Bulgaria’s Minister of Education and Science Galin Tsokov. According to Schleicher, Bulgaria has achieved a lot and is making important reforms in education.
Minister Tsokov emphasized that the Ministry of Education has initiated a broad change in the educational system, aiming for children not just to reproduce knowledge but to learn how to apply it in life. 54% of Bulgarian students are below the critical knowledge and skills minimum in mathematics, 53% do not have basic reading skills, and 48% have serious deficiencies in natural sciences, show data for 2022 announced by the Programme for International Student Assessment.
