How Will More Than 300 Educators Shape The Future Of Bulgarian Education?

The ABF Education Leadership Academy will train 320 school teachers and principals of schools nationwide, attended by 44,000 students.

“Education Leadership Academy” is the latest initiative of ABF. It is organized in partnership with the Qualification Department at Plovdiv University, Teachers’ College, Columbia University and the Bank Street College of Education in New York to enhance the prestige of teaching and the quality of education in the country, tailored to the needs of Bulgaria’s educators.
