The Pleven Pedagogical College is actively engaged in the field of educational projects, and in recent years a number of projects have been implemented, contributing to increasing the capacity of teachers and students, said College Director Dr. Boryana Zdravkova during a local conference as part of BTA's Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project. The conference took place at the BTA National Press Club here on Wednesday.
The projects are also an opportunity to continue and expand partnerships with educational institutions in the Pleven Municipality, to exchange experience and to improve the quality of education and training of our future teachers, Zdravkova emphasized. She noted that the college has participated in six international projects over the past few years in partnership with higher education institutions, non-governmental organizations and educational institutions from various European countries, creating a good network of partnerships.
"The latest project for which the college has signed a contract is related to the quality of higher education and is an opportunity to see how well our quality systems meet the European requirements for quality in higher education," Zdravkova said, adding that projects in the field of higher education related to the modernization of infrastructure and buildings, equipment and the educational process are too few, which is a challenge for educational institutions. This is also the reason for relying heavily on support from the local authorities, she concluded.
BTA's Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project aims to raise public awareness and foster open dialogue about cohesion policy, local achievements, and the implementation of the EU's policy priorities. The project kicked off with a conference in Veliki Preslav in November 2024. The schedule of conferences until the end of September 2025 includes events in the following cities: Blagoevgrad, Burgas, Varna, Veliko Tarnovo, Vidin, Vratsa, Gabrovo, Dobrich, Kazanlak, Kardzhali, Kyustendil, Lovech, Montana, Pazardzhik, Pernik, Pleven, Razgrad, Ruse, Samokov, Svishtov, Sliven, Smolyan, Sofia, Stara Zagora, Troyan, Targovishte, Haskovo, Shumen, and Yambol. Cross-border conferences will be held in Belgrade, Bosilegrad, Bucharest, Edirne, Skopje, and Thessaloniki. The project builds on the Europe in the Balkans: A Common Future and Europe in Bulgaria: A Common Future projects, implemented by BTA in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
