THE BULGARIAN SCHOOLS ABROAD AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EMIGRANT MEDIA IN PROMOTING OF MOTHER TONGUE TUITION

Summary/Abstract: There are 82 Bulgarian schools and courses in mother tongue and Bulgarian culture outside Bulgaria. About 20% of the Bulgarian children, living abroad go to Bulgarian schools. The tuition forms which they have chosen are not specified, but in most cases these are weekend courses lead by not qualified personnel. The Bulgarian emigrant media consists of over 30 different means of mass communication, such as newspapers, radio broadcastings, local cable TV programs in Bulgarian, internet sites designed for our living abroad. One of the goals of the media is to facilitate the migrants and the Bulgarians, working for their living abroad to adapt to the new conditions, helping them in the same time to preserve their Bulgarian selfconsciousness. Depending on the specific situation in the different countries this goal is achieved in two ways: either the media takes upon the functions of a school, or only promotes Bulgarian education abroad, controlling in the same time the quality they achieve and even make an attempt to get involved in solving some problems.
