Civic participation in the education system

The modern basic requirements for the educational system are related to ensuring equal access to education and the conditions for product quality in education. This proposal for centralized and decentralized approaches, which are reflected in different management models in educational practice. Practice shows that successful models are those in which the main function of the central government is the formation of educational policy without direct intervention on service providers - schools. At the district level, the external evaluation functions dominate, the local authorities mediate in the implementation of the national policy and form their own priorities. The whole process of decentralization puts the school at the center of the system with many elements: management, funding, curricula, quality assessment and training. This determines the great "burden" and the responsibility of the school is to the central (state), local government and most importantly - to consumers. The system of delegated budgets is a financial instrument of the policy for decentralization of school education. Therefore, its implementation is closely linked to the other components of decentralization, namely the delegation of rights and responsibilities. This project proposal is aimed at the process of informing and increasing citizen participation in the implementation and monitoring of and legislation, use from the delegated budgets in the school education system and this impact on education as a socially significant cause. The Bulgarian Union of Teachers, as a social partner and corrective in decision-making for Bulgarian education at the managerial level, actively participates in the control and monitoring of policy and legislation.
