Demographic catastrophe is the greatest risk for Bulgaria: President Radev

Demographic catastrophe is the greatest risk to the survival of the nation and our main task is to break this negative trend, Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev told the students from the University of Forestry in Sofia. We need to develop a comprehensive programme in three directions-education, child health and state support for the young families, Rumen Radev said. Education must become strategic national priority, Bulgaria’s head of state went on to say. If the water crisis in Pernik personifies the failure in the water sector, the results of the international PISA test have the same effect on education. The only difference is that we feel the water crisis immediately, and the consequences in the education field will be felt later, President Radev underlined.
