„My tours of the schools met me with quite awake children. It is clear that the teachers are doing their job. But if we want to change things for the better, we have to put the teachers on a pedestal again attitude in the classroom, and as payment. In parallel with this, let's work on changing the entire educational process - what we teach children - whether to simply memorize some materials, or rather how to gather information, how to analyze how to think critically. This is what the mayor of Sofia, Vasil Terziev, commented on on the air of "Hello, Bulgaria". Dealing with many of the challenges facing education are within the framework of national policy, the mayor also said.
„The municipality can actively work, as one of the many interested parties, with the Ministry of Education. What we have focused on is the infrastructure itself - construction of new crèches, kindergartens, schools, renovation of school bases. Because as much as the educational process is relevant, so is the environment, which also educates and teaches you certain values. We want the children and the teachers to be in a much friendlier environment, something that will stimulate them, inspire them and achieve the results we hope for, Vasil Terziev said.
