Status

Currently no formal initiative has been taken in Bulgaria. Unofficial work started in the beginning of 2008. Current goals include a pilot in 2008 (with external financing) and a wider project in 2009 (with government and OLPC support).

Rationales to concentrate effort on Bulgarian education include

  1. Unsatisfactory results from PISA (www.pisa.oecd.org)
  2. Lack of fruitful use if ICT in Bulgarian primary education
  3. Wide variance in performance by children of different ethnic, social or economic status.
