Apparently this is my week to talk about education in Bulgaria. I started with <a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/2011/10/02/teaching-in-bulgarian-schools-2/" target="_blank">my experience on the Fulbright teaching in a public school</a> and then I moved on to <a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/2011/10/03/teaching-at-acs/" target="_blank">discussing teaching at ACS a private school here in Sofia</a>.

Today, it's a new program <a href="http://zaednovchas.bg/" target="_blank">Teach for Bulgaria</a>.

Last spring teachers-in-training came to ACS to observe our classes as a part of the Teach for Bulgaria program. My understanding is that this program is similar to <a href="http://www.teachforamerica.org/" target="_blank">Teach for America in the States</a>. Basically, talented and passionate young people are recruited to teach for two years in high need schools.

It's a hugely ambitious program and I have a lot of respect for the Bulgarians who are currently teaching as a part of this program.
