Qualitative Info

"The pedagogical training curricula in some Bulgarian universities includes subjects related to training and integration of children of foreign nationals. Students work as interns in different NGOs and in the State Agency for Refugees.“Training in Bulgarian language of children of foreign nationals” project is being carried out  in some schools in Sofia since 2009. It helps teachers to share pedagogical experience, materials, approaches, etc. The National Report of pre-service training of teachers regarding diversity (2007) shows that the terms pre-service and in-service qualification have not been laid down in Bulgarian regulations. The basic term used in these documents is “qualification” The same paper underlines that themes of immigrant education, cultural and language diversity are treated in  relevant legislation and different programs and strategies, but there are no specific requirements for pre-service training  and qualification of teachers. See also National Program for Integration of Refugees in the Republic of  Bulgaria, Chapter V – Education."
