Variety of Schools

The selected schools are located in towns and cities of various sizes across the regions of Sofia, Burgas, Blagoevgrad, Pazardzhik, and Stara Zagora. Students in these schools achieved different scores on the national Math exams, allowing the program to support both those who need extra help and those with high achievements. While the program primarily focuses on secondary school students, it also includes some primary school classes.

“When choosing schools, we were looking for diversity. Khan Academy can be useful for any school and is suitable for all students”.

Program Director "Working with Schools and Teachers" in "Education without Backpacks"

Donate Devices to Schools in Need

Donate Devices to Schools in Need

In support of the “Improving Math Skills in Bulgarian Schools with Khan Academy” program, “Education without Backpacks” launches a campaign to recruit laptops and tablets. Our goal is to help 7 schools in Bulgaria that need devices to make full use of the Khan Academy platform in Math classes. The devices can be either new or used, but it is important that they are fully functional to provide quality education for children.

Help children learn effectively with Khan Academy!

Donate laptops or tablets and support the improvement of Math scores in school.

Khan Academy is a proven tool that allows students to easily master Mathematical concepts in an interactive way. Teachers and students are motivated to work with the platform, but the lack of sufficient devices limits their progress. The donated devices will enable hundreds of students to fully learn and increase their Math scores over the next two years.

True Success

The program is already implemented in schools in Sofia with very low results in Mathematics with the three-year support of the UniCredit Foundation and in order to increase the results of national Math exam after the 7th grade (more information here) and builds on the experience with other pilot schools such as Vasil Levski Primary School in Razgrad (“Mathematics is for Everyone”), 48. Yosif Kovachev Primary School in Sofia and others.

“We use Khan Academy with our students once a week. Unlike regular classes, they line up eagerly outside the computer lab, excited for the lesson to begin!”

Velina Pencheva

Primary teacher in 48. Primary School “Yosif Kovachev”, Sofia
