“I’m happy that we will continue to prepare the next generations for the digital future. Since 2017, Telerik Academy has opened 630 schools in 50 places, and we have accepted over 14,000 students! During those years, we have learned that students have different interests in the field of technology, and teachers need modern learning materials. The schools aim to provide free-time activities to engage the student’s interests. That is why we started integrating programs in the schools in the country. In 2023-2024, we will open 100 free schools.”
