Bulgaria will have to work hard to achieve the education targets in the EU's new 'Europe 2020' strategy. The country's biggest problem appears to be the high number of kids who stop attending school at an early age. Dnevnik, EurActiv's partner in Bulgaria, reports.
According to research by the National Statistical Institute, 93.4% of all 7-10 year-olds in Bulgaria attended school during the academic year 2009-10. Unfortunately, the number falls to 82.4% for children aged 11-14 and currently only 78.6% of all youngsters actually graduate from high school – meaning that over 22% do not.
