Overview of the current situation
Bulgarian educational system is drastically retarded
in the process of implementation of ICT in
schools:
 At the beginning of 2004 100 students use 2.1
computers (1.3 computers per 100 students if we
don’t consider the outdated machines)
 An insufficient number of schools is connected to
Internet through LAN

Overview of the current situation
 For the last 10 years no centralized supply
with computers has been made
 No investments for training of teachers for
using ICT have been made for that period
 No centralized network at national level
has been established
 Separate local networks were created (with
the support of local structures and NGO’s)

Overview of the current situation
 Big differences in the number of computers in the
different schools (because municipalities support
to different extent the introduction of ICT in
schools)
 In the curriculum for secondary schools there are
only two subjects connected to ICT (informatics
and information technologies for the upper
grades)
 Practically ICT are not applied for teaching of
other subjects
