Minister pledges radical changes to higher education
Minister Todor Tanev has pledged a new Education Act instead of patchy amendments and insertions to the existing one, reports Novinite.In a recent interview with Bulgarian National Television, he claimed that the main problem of universities was lack of employment. Bulgaria’s Education Minister, as cited by http://dnevnik.bg, insisted that universities were not supposed to be closed by administrative means.
