PROJECT ‘’PROVISION OF TRAINING FOR DIGITAL SKILLS AND CREATION OF A PLATFORM FOR ADULT EDUCATION IN REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA’’

06.04.2023 |

The development of digital skills is a priority in several programs and strategies for the next few years. The same is true for the project “Provision of Training for Digital Skills and Creation of a Platform for Adult Education.”

The main goal is to expand access and provide more opportunities for quality education using digital technologies. The development and implementation of a virtual platform for online learning will provide flexible and accessible forms of learning, such as online distance learning courses and electronic resources for self-study.

After the creation and implementation of the virtual e-learning platform, all courses in the electronic learning environment for unemployed and employed persons, organized within the framework of the active labor market policy and funded by the state budget and the ESF+ under the Human Resources Development Program, will be conducted through it.

The virtual e-learning platform will be linked to the “My Competence” Competence Assessment Information System, which presents models with descriptions of the skills necessary for the successful performance of key positions, work with tools, as well as databases and electronic registers related to adult education – the National Labor Market Database of the Employment Agency (EA), the Electronic Register of Vocational Training Centers of the National Agency for Vocational Education and Training (NAVET), etc.

Training providers and supervisory bodies (e.g. MLSP, EA, NAVET, employers, etc.) will have access to the platform. They will be able to monitor and control the execution of the training in real time. At any given moment during the training period, the presence of trainees, performance of the curriculum by day, performance through access to examination materials and tests, access to materials and survey cards for evaluating the training, etc. can be checked. This way, compliance with the regulatory requirements for organizing training and for the quality of the training conducted will be monitored.

The total planned financial resource is BGN 379,470,088.

Project implementation period – 54 months (2022-2026)

BULGARIAN NATIONAL PROGRAM "DIGITAL QUALIFICATION"

10.03.2023 |

The National Program “Digital Qualification” aims to respond to the need for targeted efforts and investments to ensure high-quality training of students, teachers, and lecturers in the face of the digital transformation of education. The program is aimed at ensuring that the education system has personnel with a high level of digital competence and a mindset for continuous improvement throughout their professional lives, as well as teaching their own experiences and knowledge.

The program recognizes that the digitalization and implementation of artificial intelligence have placed new, qualitatively different requirements on the nature and characteristics of teaching in schools and universities. The specific public challenges that the program is aimed at addressing include stimulating higher education institutions to improve the quality of education and the teaching process, enhancing the prestige of the teaching profession among ICT specialists, and updating teaching methods to include innovative approaches and modern learning platforms.

The goal of the program is to retrain teachers from other disciplines and train representatives from practice to teach disciplines related to ICT and digitization at different levels of the education system. Within the program, teachers from various subjects in the secondary education system will also be trained to improve their digital skills and competencies and to provide them with opportunities to retrain as teachers of computer science and information technology.

The program is aimed at teachers from state universities accredited under the Higher Education Act, teachers from the secondary education system, and representatives of the business community who want to start teaching and lecturing. Qualification training is provided to teachers, lecturers, and representatives of the business community, distributed in groups. At the end of the training, a certificate is issued based on a conducted test. Teachers who have successfully completed the training and obtained the relevant certificate will organize a seminar at the relevant university with the presence of a representative from the Ministry of Education and/or a lecturer from the training team.

The program lasts 36 months, and the total budget is BGN 2,000,000. The program is financed through the European Social Fund and the national budget.
