by Vasil KolevToday I was at the demonstration in front of Alexander Nevsky on the problem in the education…
The event wasn’t bad – for about a hour there was the whole FMI with students and teachers from other places (but it was mostly our faculty, which needs to change in the coming events). A few people read speeches, some spoke directly (like Nakov), the dean of FMI spoke (who is probably one of the small list of deans that the students really like). It was about time that something like this had to be done, the organization had some good ideas (the given t-shirts, the flaming sword – e.g. a lot of people with while t-shirts and lit candles), but there stuff to be fixed (better masters of ceremonies, not to read everything from sheets, and to find a bit more powerful audio system).
It’s about time that something is to be done with our education – to have some control on the bugdet and transparency, to have some normal salaries for the teachers (still the salary of a professor is about 2 leva per hour, which isn’t even funny, it’s insulting), to have some control to get rid of the corruption (which in some universities rivals the one in the government)… I promise that some day I’ll sit and write all my observations and ideas on the education, maybe some of them can turn to be useful.
