Where Does This Path Lead to? Findings Based on Certain Particularities of the System of Primary and Secondary Education in Bulgaria
Abstract. The reform of the secondary education is among the declared priorities of the present state government so the public witnesses a great effort in terms of multiple amendments of the regulatory arrangement and of the organization of the pre-school and school education system. One of the most important steps in this endeavor is the attempt to achieve a formal comparison between the International standard classification of education (ISCED 11) and the national curriculum by setting a firm ceiling of 12 grades for the period of school education as well as introducing elements of the PISA tests in the national external examination. The present study is aiming, with the help of economic principles and methodology, to analyze the current stage of development of that reform. The detailed review of the results by means of discussion the available evidence and of the legal arrangement shows that the measures taken lead to an outcome, different than the one expected by the society. The reasons are many and complex but the main one is that the newly introduced law regulating the secondary education system keeps the old-fashioned philosophy of the abolished law and views the compulsory education as a necessity but does not recognize and incorporate contemporary theories about the psychological and social development of the individuals. As a result, the established rules, first, put too steep obstacles for passing between some of the education levels and second, do not correctly estimate the systematic significance of certain study subjects forming key competencies of the young people in connection with the future demand needs of the labor market. The high frequency of changes in the regulations combined with missing transparency in the moves of the administration create preconditions that obstruct students to put together a long-term strategy for improvement of their knowledge, skills, and competencies. The existence of these preconditions means that the students will view each consequent change as a treat for their development and that affects the public interest in their education.

Development and Current Models of Interaction „Educational Institutions – Family” as Measures to Take over Reflective Factors for Discrimination in Education
Absract. The modern education system is faced with the challenge, together with its elements, in new realities to carry out its functions and to fulfill all its obligations and responsibilities in accordance with the Law on Pre-school and School Education, and at the same time in an integrated approach to fulfill the requirements of the European and international legislation in the field of education. Not only the concept of relations in the educational system is changing, not only the desires, skills, motivation, goals and needs of the participants in the process are changing – the educational environment itself is changing in order to provide the most suitable conditions for educational integration, tailored to the individual features of each child and student. Educational integration is an institutional process whereby educational entities carrying ethnocultural specificities interact in a unified educational environment, forming intercultural competences and shared civic values in the process of education and upbringing, preserving their ethnocultural identity and receiving equal opportunities for social realization. An indisputable factor in the effectiveness of this process is the provision of a supportive educational environment through the management and implementation of „educational institution – family“ interaction models, as well as the introduction of family-oriented models to overcome reflective factors leading to difficult communication between the actors involved. in the educational process.
