Hi all!

I couldn't say it better than Boyko. I too did my Master's abroad and once I was finished I took the plane back to Bulgaria. True, Bulgarian education system isn't perfect, but education isn't just about someone filling your head with knowledge. It's about self motivation, enthusiasm and actual interest to get things done. And a lot of things have to be done, quite a lot is to be changed for the better.

I love travelling and exploring new places, and getting into loooong and terrifyingly interesting talks with people from all around the world. That's what I did get during my stay in Sweden. And I loved it. If I could get it here, I would have. That's certainly a big part of the education and this is what we are missing here in Bulgaria.

What we've got to fix is, firstly, make it fun and encouraging, make it international--with both international businesses and international schools giving us a hand with lectures, a week-long visits and what not. Secondly, we just have to eradicate the old way of teaching and lean on the new practices. For a year in Sweden I had the chance to attend 10 lectures by representatives of the best Swedish companies, teaching us examples from the business. I worked with people from 20 different nationalities and I gladly spent hours at the university library. Why not do it here? :-)
