Модел на българско частно висше училище след Освобождението
Model of Bulgarian Private Higher School after the Liberation

Summary/Abstract: The Free University of Political and Economic Sciences was established in 1920 as a private higher education institution meeting the requirements of the Law on National Enlightenment. The idea is maturing in an intellectual circle of State University professors dissatisfied with the policy of the state university. In 1924, the Law of Recognition as a Legal Person of the Free University for Political and Economic Sciences (Balkan Middle Eastern Institute) was adopted in Sofia. The first director (rector) of the Free University is Prof. S. Bobchev. The Middle East and the Balkans are traditional trade zones for Bulgarian manufacturers and traders. This is why the founders of the university consider it necessary to prepare future consuls, sales agents and other specialists for the Balkans, Asia Minor and the Middle East, while studying one Western and one Balkan language during their studies. Despite the high quality of education, innovative teaching methods and academic achievements of lecturers, the Free University is transformed and closed.
