The majority of Bulgarian entrepreneurs believe that the quality of higher education in Bulgaria is poor.
This has become clear from a survey of the Bulgarian Human Resources Management and Development Association – BHRMDA, and the Pari Daily.
About 60% of the Bulgarian businessmen are found to think that the university education in Bulgaria is worse than the that in the EU as a whole.
Only 1,8% believe that the higher education in Bulgaria is of better quality than the EU average.
The entrepreneurs are convinced that the University of National and World Economy in Sofia produces the best economists in the country, the Sofia Technical University – the best engineers and IT specialists, and the Sofia University “St. Kliment of Ohrid” - the best lawyers.
