Stanislav Ivanov participated in the International Educational Forum “Education of the Future”, organised by Varna Municipality. The event brought together representatives of educational institutions, universities, businesses, the public sector, and non-governmental organisations to discuss approaches to more modern, meaningful, and high-quality education.

In his presentation, Professor Ivanov posed a central question: does today’s education system develop free individuals? He explored freedom as the ability to think critically, take responsibility, make informed choices, demonstrate initiative, respect differences, and participate actively in society. His contribution underscored that the future of education depends not only on introducing new technologies, but also on developing independent, thoughtful, ethical individuals who can turn their ideas into action.
