Krasimir Valchev, Chairman of the National Assembly Committee for Education and Science, Delivered a Public Lecture during the Youth Economic Forum

In his public lecture Krassimir Valchev spoke on the Higher Education and the Eurozone telling about the events 34 years ago when the young people hadn`t had the opportunities they have nowadays. According to him the young people today have a lot of choices. They live in an increasingly global and supranational world. "Joining the Eurozone we will enter the narrowest circle of European integration. The direct benefits are numerous but more significant are the indirect benefits - we will be recognized as part of the core of the EU. We will increasingly think through the perspective of the EU, we will feel it as something close, with learning opportunities. In 2017 a decision was taken to create European university networks, a more globalized higher education market with the unification of resources and faculty. The UNWE was one of the first universities in Bulgaria to join the European University Area for which I greet you. The higher education become more accessible and less elite. Each student has access to lecturers from different countries and the integration in educational systems will deepen", said Krasimir Valchev.
