Summary/Abstract: The article answers the question of how literary curriculum fulfills the State educational requirements for building a "clear consciousness of national identity". The author's thesis is that identity is formed not only through awareness of differences with others, but also of similarities with relatives, kinsmen (Michel Foucault, The Order of Things). This means that Bulgarian folk and literary works must be discussed in a context not only of cultures distant to the Bulgarian character, but also in the context of work created by other Slavs. However, such a context does not exist in the Bulgarian secondary school. Only teachers can compensate for this lack in the curricula with their individual professionalism and national identity.
