2/3 of Bulgarian youth aspire to higher education, OECD survey shows

published on 4/26/24 5:14 PM

In Bulgaria, 71 per cent of 15-year-olds expect to graduate from university and 45 per cent expect to have a managerial or professional position by the time they are 30.

Both expectations are below the survey average compared to other countries (84% and 57% respectively). The data come from an OECD study on the social-emotional skills of 15-year-olds, released in Sofia and cited by BTA.

The study also points out that social inequalities among 15-year-old students in Bulgaria are the most pronounced compared to other countries, which has an impact on the development of their social-emotional skills. The study was conducted among 3,012 students and 555 teachers from 80 schools across the country.
