National evaluation

• In Bulgaria national evaluations are carried out at the end of the school year on completion of degree-4, 7, 12 class.

• Forms of external evaluation are based on standardized methods and complementary assessment of the teacher and in-tested forms.

The diagnostic of the quality of education can be used for:

• the Olympiads

• competitions in different subjects.

• Another issue is that in this case the results are compared only the best students at the school, municipal and district level.

We make efforts to improve the educational environment

• a reasonable balance between standardized and non-standardized methods for assessing educational achievement

• non-traditional teaching methods

• evaluation,• innovation,• efficiency.

Therefore we must have an adequate idea and work to align our national school and educational realities of global educational projects and sustainable development of the education system in accordance with the needs of the individual and society.
