Profession Shortage: Bulgaria's Vocational Education Struggles with Demand Mismatch
Vocational education encompasses approximately half of high school students and is available in every district nationwide, reaching around 80% of all municipalities
“The Ministry of Education and Science will not tolerate an increase in the number of higher-education places. We must ensure the quality of higher education and this will be impossible if, in a situation where there are not enough students, universities continue to expand and multiply,” stated Education Minister Meglena Kuneva.
“It is always being said that the opening of a branch or a new university is good for the region. But this is only true if there are students, not if after a year the university begins to face difficulties,” commented Kuneva.
In her opinion, part of the solution to the problem is for universities to provide programmes in the field of life-time learning. “We cannot import demography, but we can import students,” added Kuneva. She pointed out that increasing the number of students from the Bulgarian Diaspora might be a good policy.
