Dimcho Debeljanov Jewish School, Sofia

The Lauder-ORT Science and Technology Centre at the Dimcho Debeljanov Jewish School in Sofia comprises two ICT laboratories, a media laboratory and a science laboratory.

The project has enabled the school, which is a part of The Ronald S. Lauder Foundation educational network, to attain the status of a high school and fill the gap in the city’s Jewish educational system.

ORT technological input benefits the school’s 700 students in grades 1 to 10.

During 2005, ORT Bulgaria signed an agreement for collaboration with The Institute for International Cooperation of the German Adult Education Association.

This allows the students to receive free IT training leading to qualifications that are recognised across Europe.
