The Gaps in the Educational System of Republic of Bulgaria and How It Affects the University Students.
The gaps in the educational system of Republic of Bulgaria and how it affects the university students.
Education is seen as the driving force of a country’s economy, culture and advancement. How can we expect Bulgaria to be economically well when its educational system doesn’t work the way it is supposed to be. There are some main points that are essential for any system to work, and in Bulgaria these “points” seem to be missing. Students are not motivated to study, because they know that there are other ways of passing the exams- as cheating. Teachers on the other hand have cosmic expectations of their students without making an effort to teach them something.
Classes that the students attend don’t prepare them for the exams that they have to sit at the end of the semester. Most teachers at the university in Bulgaria come to class and they think that you know it all about the exam and how you are going to pass it, how you are supposed to prepare for it. For example last year when we had syntax our teacher just came to class and started teaching. Furthermore she didn't even explain us what are we doing and why we are doing it, we just started taking notes about something that we have never heard of and we had no idea what exactly she was talking about. That made the class very hard to understand as if it wasn't already difficult enough subject.
Another problem is that teachers ask students to do things that they haven’t prepared them for. For instance, last year a girl that I know asked me to help her to write a comment on an article, the problem was that she didn't know what exactly she was supposed to do. She told me that their teacher never explained to them how to write a comment on an article so she wasn't able to do it herself. It is really difficult when teachers expect from you things that you have never done before and no one has thought you how to do them. This information gap that university students have is normal because they come from a
