Summary/Abstract: In recent years, school education in Bulgaria (and abroad) has undergone rapid transformation, focusing on a competency-based approach to teaching, continuous teacher improvement, development of teaching methods to adapt to the dynamic present and the specifics of new generations. Despite the usual societal skepticism towards the novelty, these innovations are undoubtedly the necessary path for achieving education supported by functional knowledge and skills among students. On the other hand, higher education is traditionally more conservative and academically oriented – qualities that carry their historical significance. However, it is appropriate to critically examine the approaches and methods established in university education and seek their improvement. This article explores the possibilities of assimilating good school practices from higher education without claiming exhaustiveness but providing concrete examples. The current reading opens up a perspective for continuing education characterized by its complexity, coherence with previous educational stages, and applicability.
