Abstract

This paper explores issues related to innovative higher education in Bulgaria in the context of etransformation. In the era of digitalization social relations are changing, including those in the educational sphere. The e-transformation of the economy is undeniable and in order to ensure the availability of highly qualified staff, it is necessary for higher education institutions to ensure the necessary interconnection with practice and to guarantee the quality of the educational service. This implies that, on the basis of the interconnection, universities should forecast the e-transformation of business, respectively the need for personnel for the new professions and include such innovations in the educational process that are adequate to meet the needs of the labour market. At the same time, the process of e-transformation of higher education institutions has an independent dimension, namely: relevance and innovativeness of the methods used in the educational process, of the offered specialties and forms of training, electronic provision of administrative services for students. In this regard, the authors put on the field of doctrinal research some issues related to different aspects of the problem-innovativeness of Bulgarian higher education in the conditions of electronic transformation. Issues related to higher education are studied, presenting the genesis in the development of Bulgarian higher education in different historical periods, sharing good practices of the UE-Varna, as well as the opinion of students in the Master's degree on issues related to ebased learning process. The study advocates the need for transformation of higher education by incorporating innovative teaching methods, change in legislation to ensure high quality of educational service to secure e-transformation. The paper uses traditional research methods such as normative, comparative law, induction and deduction. Based on the analysis, conclusions are drawn to summarize the main challenges facing higher education and recommendations are made to improve the legal framework.
