Summary/Abstract: Public-private partnership (PPP) in school education in Bulgaria is an unknown but possible practice that can meet the main challenges in both education management and its implementation and impact. Arguments for its adequacy and value can be found in good international practices, in the experience gained, in the implementation of PPP in social services since 2004 and in the existence of relevant legislation. The article aims to develop and present the possibilities of using PPP in school education in Bulgaria. It analyzes good foreign practices, outlines the possibilities and limitations of PPP, and proposes a procedure for implementing PPP in school education. The conclusions of the study are that PPP will create a competitive environment in educational services, increase the quality of education and motivation to learn, and will introduce innovations and mechanisms to monitor and control.
