site.btaEducation Minister: Change Needed in How Students Are Assessed

Assessment in Bulgarian schools should be more focused on measuring skills and competences rather than on mechanical reproduction of knowledge,” stressed Education Minister Galin Tsokov on Tuesday at a meeting with the Association of Principals in the Bulgarian Education System, quoted in a statement by his ministry. He noted that the Education Ministry will launch a review of the curricula, which will be conducted together with teachers, to reduce the factual load at the expense of practical knowledge and skills covered in them.
