The 2024 National External Assessment (NEA) for 7th graders in Bulgaria has revealed both positive trends and significant disparities in students’ performance in Bulgarian language and mathematics.
Convergence with remaining differences
One of the most notable trends this year is the convergence of results between the two main subjects. The gap between the average scores in Bulgarian language and mathematics has narrowed compared to previous years, indicating an improvement in students’ mathematical skills. However, Bulgarian language still holds a slight advantage.
Regional disparities
An analysis of results at the municipal level reveals clear regional disparities. Clusters of municipalities with lower scores are predominantly found in Northeastern and Northwestern Bulgaria, as well as in some areas around Plovdiv and Stara Zagora. In contrast, large cities, especially those with specialized schools, perform better than the national average.
Positive impact of changes in the mathematics exam
The changes introduced to the mathematics exam structure in 2024, such as increased time and a change in the type of some tasks, have had a positive impact on results. This suggests that such changes can be an effective tool for improving student performance.
Reasons for the differences
The differences in results are attributed to a number of factors, including:
Quality of education: Access to resources, teacher qualifications, up-to-date curricula, and teaching methods.
Socioeconomic factors: Students’ material conditions, access to education, and social environment.
Individual differences: Motivation, abilities, health issues, and study habits.
Possible solutions
To overcome regional disparities and improve the overall level of knowledge and skills among 7th graders, the following measures should be taken:
Targeted measures to support students in regions with lower results. Improving teacher qualifications.
Modernizing curricula and materials.
Creating a more supportive learning environment.
Conclusion
The results of the 2024 NEA for 7th graders provide valuable insights into the state of education in Bulgaria. Despite the progress made, there is still significant room for improvement. To achieve higher results, it is necessary to work collaboratively at all levels – from government institutions to schools and families.
Note: This analysis is based on published data from the Institute for Market Economics and provides a general overview of the situation. More in-depth research is needed to fully understand the reasons for the differences in results.
