The modern economy has a number of characteristics, one of which is the highly dynamic structural changes in the labor market. As a result, enterprises and organizations are faced with serious current problems and future challenges, related to access to the human resources they need with a level of knowledge, professional skills and competences adequate to the objective needs. This places as a strategic priority the formation, maintenance and development of human resources corresponding to the requirements and expectations of the business. Continuing Vocational Training (CVT) is a major tool for realizing this priority. The main purpose of the paper is to investigate the main aspects and characteristics of the CVT in Bulgaria during the period 2005 – 2020. The research methods used are the method of analysis and synthesis, statistical methods, graphic method, etc. The main research results are: the derived quantitative characteristics of the CVT; the general conclusions made regarding the state and dynamics in the development of the CVT in Bulgaria, incl. in comparison to EU countries.

The paper discusses the academic entrepreneurship and its public (institutions) and private (personal) forms. We argue that academic entrepreneurship should involve activities and organizational structures, which are not targeting profit. Then - about the unsuitability of Decree N 61 of May 2, 200 on the terms and conditions for the creation of commercial companies by public higher education institutions for the purposes of the economic realization.

When socio-economic crises last a long time, it is a consequence of decline in the first place in society and in parallel with this – decline in economy. “Decline”, for the purpose of the study, will mean permanently fragmented society, parallel to long-term problems in the economy. “Western world”, for the purposes of this study will include Europe, The United Kingdom, and The United States. Decline in addition to social chaos also includes economic impasse (deadlock), caused by absence of significant economic growth for years; obsolete equipment and technologies; indebtedness of the countries of the West; inflation; negative population growth; frequent change of goals and priorities, and others. The “Decline” brings to the fore in the public life of the Western world aggressive and non-dialogical representatives of various social groups who do not possess any of the traditional values and culture of Western society, nor the obligatory high level of fundamental education, nor the professional abilities to distinguish the important from the unimportant. In addition to not representing the majority of society and thus continuing to create disunity, Western leaders and leadership teams do not set long-term goals in economy or for the society, limited by the mandate of governance in the Western democracies. Science and education of the society are not developed in parallel with economic specialization in specifically prioritized industries. Status quo does not allow solving the accumulated problems in society, much less ensuring socio-economic development.

The present article attempts to situate the reflections of Bulgarian students on the “new normal” in the pandemic situation. The authors analyze the results of an empirical survey conducted in the period January-February 2022 at the University of National and World Economy, Sofia, Bulgaria. Under the conditions of the COVID pandemic, students were the social groups that had to radically change the mode of its basic activity, learning. Education was conducted entirely in the form of distance learning, which, along with the other anti-pandemic measures, proved to be the first serious change in the way of life of the surveyed students.

Gender equality plans are an eligibility criterion in research funding under Horizon Europe from 2022. The article analyzes the ideas of gender equality in a European and national context and the applicable terminology. Discussions on indicators of gender equality in higher education, national specifics and approaches to their implementation are presented. The aim of the article is to systematize the issues, methodological problems and solutions in the development of GEPs, examining the theoretical foundations, regulation, statistics and good practices in Europe and Bulgaria. The topic is gaining popularity in our country and so far the emphasis has been on building organizational capacity and culture, instead of engaging with specific indicators of gender equality.

The article analyzes the theoretical provisions that form the basis of the concept of teaching physics to students of agricultural and technical educational institutions during lectures. The integrative connections of the fundamental and professional orientation of teaching physics to the students of the agro-technical educational institution during the lectures are established and the tested method of their carrying out is described. The basic methods of realization of professional orientation of teaching physics on lecture forms of employment of students of agrarian-technical educational institutions are opened. The basic ways of increase of professional knowledge of students at studying of a course of physics are defined. It is proved that the use of professionally oriented material contributes to the formation of a system of physical knowledge of students, as well as the acquisition of various practical skills and abilities. The introduction of professional competence in the educational process stimulates cognitive interest in the study of physics as a science, allows better learning of other disciplines of the natural science cycle, develop their cognitive and creative abilities, influence the formation of stable motives for acquiring knowledge in special disciplines.

The article analyzes the communicative activity of those students who have difficulties in mental development, as a condition for organizing an educational environment for children with special needs. It was concluded that the inability to communicate with school peers, teachers, and adults affects the organization of an inclusive educational environment (hereinafter – IES) for children with special educational needs (hereinafter – SEN). An example of creating an IES in an elementary school is offered. Specific difficulties that hinder the development of communication (communicative skills) among children aged 7 – 10 with limited health opportunities have been identified. The importance of game activities in the process of organizing an educational space for children with special needs is emphasized. An original author’s method of formation of communication skills of students with SEN is proposed, which was based on the key provisions of the pedagogical system of the Italian scientist, doctor, teacher, civic activist, and organizer of educational institutions around the world M. Montessori. Creating an inclusive educational space for children with special needs, we programmed situations where students would develop self-care skills (dressing and undressing, changing shoes, cleaning, dusting, sweeping, taking care of flowerpots, taking care of flower beds). Educational materials developed by M. Montessori were shown to the children. The teaching methods proposed by the scientist were also updated. The author’s method of formation of communicative skills of students with SEN provided for various forms and methods of learning, both traditional and innovative (project activity, competitions, dramatization, discussion, public performances, didactic games, etc.). The peculiarities of the functioning of the IOP under the conditions of distance learning caused by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic are characterized. It is emphasized the importance of organizing the game activities of students with SEN as one of the conditions for the successful functioning of IES in the school. The risks posed by online education for children with SEN are highlighted. It was concluded that the process of forming communication skills in students with SEN under the conditions of quarantine restrictions and online learning will become more effective if group work is established (if possible) in the learning process in the classroom and proper pedagogical assistance is provided to the student with SEN at home.
