Bulgaria’s President, Georgi Parvanov, outlined Saturday his vision for the much awaited reform of the country’s education system.

Parvanov took part in a discussion held in the southern city of Blagoevgrad, titled: "Bulgarian Schools – Key to Society and the Economy of Knowledge.”

The President stated as issue and task number one of the reform the content of the textbooks, the curriculum and the school programs in different grade levels.

On the second place, Parvanov ranked the issue of using the right teaching methods and last, but not least, he pointed out the functions of the school in teaching values and morals.

“We have great achievements in mathematics, informatics, natural science, we have elite schools, but the major problem is embedded in the regular public schools,” Parvanov pointed out.

Also on Sunday, Bulgaria's Education Minister, Sergey Ignatov, said in a radio interview that the country's education system and its quality are facing very serious problems and deficiencies.
