Паралелните светове на българското училище. Сравнителен анализ на два случая
The parallel worlds of Bulgarian school. A comparative analysis of two cases

Summary/Abstract: On the basis of the data from a field study carried out within the project “Educational inequalities and social chances. Strategic goals of the reform of Bulgarian high school education and practical results”, funded by the National Science Fund at the Ministry of Education and Science, I describe two cases as representative for the structural relations between different types of the contemporary Bulgarian school: the club school and the school of the ghetto. I am interested in the specific practical mechanisms of accumulation of educational riches in some schools and turning other schools into places of ‘educational poverty’ which leads to worlds of school education that are not merely autonomous but have a parallel existence, never meeting or intersecting, and predetermining different life chances and trajectories. The second focus of analysis are the models of education that this structural relation produces and are implemented in practice, with more or less reflection, in these schools. In conclusion, I propose options for the transformation of the analyzed structural relations as well as a critical reflection of one of the basic notions by which the measures of overcoming educational inequalities are conceptualized: ‘educational poverty’.
