One of the main reasons for the start of the campaign is the dissatisfaction of the young people in Bulgaria from the higher education. Some of the messages of the campaign are: “We want to study in Bulgaria”, “We don’t want corruption in education” and “We don’t want just diplomas, we want real knowledge”.
The “SOS – Save the Education Now” campaign will popularise and explain to university students and citizens the reform in higher education. This will happen through the traveling SOS tents. The main body of the campaign consists of thirty people who will divide into four mobile teams. They will be moving during the weekends and in each day they will be in four different regional cities and will be situated in central places in the cities their tents are located. There will be campaign materials, video clips will be rotated and the faces of the campaign will be personally explaining the reform in the higher education to everyone who is keen to learn more. Combined with this the tents will have a video corner, where everyone could tape their suggestion, opinion or message regarding higher education.
A group was opened on the social network “Facebook” titled “SOS – Save the Education Now” in the end of December. To this moment there are over 10 000 people who have joined.
The rectors should not be involved in public procurements, because in this way the universities will be transformed into firm. This was said by Mr. Ignatov – Minister of Education, Youth and Science during the announcement of the “SOS – Save the Education Now” campaign. According to the minister after the new law for higher education is passed from a total of 51 universities in Bulgaria 10 will remain genuine.
