Summary/Abstract: The paper outlines contradictions of “sustainability teaching accounting” in which word game (shown in inverted commas) represents the focal role of the teacher. The problems of the Bulgarian education system are already known - increasing complexity and interconnectedness as results of the breakdown of the value system of society - but not unique. Merely, institutional sustainability discourse is reductionist and mechanistic. And one of the problems of sustainable education is how to empower students with self-reinforcing practice. Attitudes of students of accounting teaching in IU-Varna are presented to justify current teaching in accounting courses. Some generalized proposals are introduced because as greater the students are exposed to sustainable thinking and innovative technologies, better critical thinking and self-reinforced behavior will be articulated.
