Round Table Conference: Bridging the Gap between Education and Labour Markets Needs

Results of the university scientific project entitled Market and Non-Market Alternatives of Public Financed Services focused on the school system of education were presented by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Alexander Valkov from the UNWE. The main challenge in the school education assessment is the integration of grades for effectiveness and quality. There is a low effectiveness and weak international competitiveness of school education which in comparison to the school achievements becomes more and more expensive. Neglecting the resource factors is risky for the educational quality. The low funding level has a negative impact on the achievement of good results in the school education.
