The Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association wants changes in the Bulgarian system of education, so as to improve its connection with the labour market. One of the steps they are demanding is an obligatory matriculation exam in mathematics.
“If we want good engineers at the exit of the system of university education, we need young people well prepped in natural sciences and mathematics at its entrance,” said Vasil Velev from the Association.
