Story

Students in Bulgaria score lower on average in reading, math and science compared to peers in developed economies. They face greater inequity in access to quality education and fewer young adults pursue training, higher education or employment, compared to peers in the EU. Teach For Bulgaria believes in the potential of every child. Transforming school leadership and teaching methods will ensure that every student has access to quality education to develop key skills and knowledge for success.

Impact

Teach For Bulgaria strives to transform 10% of all public schools in the country (approx. 200) by 2026 via the Model Schools program. Improved school leadership and effective teaching in these schools would enable over 90,000 students to develop key skills and knowledge necessary for their successful integration in the labour market and as valued members of their communities.

Challenge

Students in Bulgaria face higher inequality in access to quality education, perform worse in math, reading and science, and pursue employment, training or higher education at lower rates than peers in the EU and other developed economies. Inequality and performance have been worsening since 2012 and the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to these trends. Ineffective teaching and school leadership practices must be transformed, so that every student can reach their full potential.
