XXII BCES Annual International Conference

Sandanski, Bulgaria 2 - 5 July 2024

XXII BCES Conference Theme

Education in Developing, Emerging, and Developed Countries:

Different Worlds, Common Challenges

The XXII BCES Conference theme focuses on the relationship between the development of countries’ economies and national education systems. Developing, emerging, and developed countries represent the very different domains existing in our global world. National education systems, being dependent on countries’ economic development, show different problems, failures, or achievements. However, despite the economic differences, there are many common challenges to education in most countries.

Both national and international education studies are welcome. Authors of presentations are encouraged to submit comparisons between developing countries, between emerging countries, or between developed countries, and as well as comparisons between countries with differing economic development.

Take advantage of the XXII BCES Conference where academicians, researchers, policy makers, PhD students, and education enthusiasts from all over the world gather to explore the latest challenges, trends, and innovations in education systems in countries across the globe.

Come to the BCES Annual Conference and enjoy the welcoming, friendly, and supportive atmosphere of our event. Be a part of the BCES wonderful international conference community, where tolerance, respect, and empathy are traditional assets.

This is more than a conference!
