With a study union « Education » tries to cancel the obligatory matriculation
The study aims to explore the importance of language integration, social skills, and the motivation of students in the high school stage. The study was done by the methods of « National Poll » and « AD HOC ». More than 4,000 teachers, parents and interested citizens participated, according to the union, without claiming to be representative.
Now the adults take two compulsory exams-in Bulgarian language and literature and in a profiling subject studied in grades 11 and 12. For young people from vocational high schools, the second compulsory exam is by profession. Matriculation ratings serve as an entrance to most universities.
The implementation of the proposal would return education more than a decade ago, when the average success at least « very good » (5.00) from the last high school class and an average arithmetic assessment of the annual grades in the respective subject at least « very good » (5) released from matriculation exams. This was possible until 2002. Previously, from 1892 to 1965, matriculation was mandatory for all. In 2008, they again became obligatory.
The question « Do you support the opportunity to release DZI with average » very good « (5.00) from the last three classes in the high school stage » just over 74% respond positively. The union wants to have the opportunity to release on the grounds that it would release the students time to prepare for the exams at universities.
Directors want no more than 7 days of absences for family reasons, pediatricians and parents are against
« We recall that, despite its many universities, Bulgaria remains as a net exporter of students, and those with the highest success. The Bulgarian labor market cannot keep our best students, » the union writes.
The question « Do you accept the introduction of the opportunity to repeat the first class (only once) in the presence of deficits in the language and social skills of the student » 88.4% of the respondents are to repeat the class in these deficits. According to the union, this confirms the national analysis of the effectiveness of the Law on Preschool and School Education, « as well as the imperfection of school policy in the initial stage. »

The union recalls that he also proposes to drop the national external assessment after 4th grade and to allow a class to repeat throughout the initial stage.
Directors want applicant exams to be after matriculation
Applicant exams should be after the matriculation ones that take place in late May. This is what Dian Stamatov, Chairman of the Union of Heads in the National Education System and director of the 119th Academic Michael Arnaudov Secondary School. The Union will offer its idea to the Ministry of Education for amendments to the Higher Education Act.
According to Yanka Takeva, nearly 70% of teachers support the subject « virtues and religions »
According to Stamatov, adults lose their motivation to learn, taking pre -exams that take place months before the matriculation. According to the directors, all application exams, as well as the schedules for submission of documents, must be organized after the matriculation exams.
