Bulgaria is facing challenges regarding student dropout rates and a lack of publicly available data to address the issue. The constitution mandates schooling until age 16, yet questions remain about the state’s efforts to enforce this and reintegrate students who leave the education system. There is concern over the absence of clear answers regarding the scale of the problem and the effectiveness of current interventions. The lack of transparency surrounding dropout statistics hinders informed public debate and effective policy-making. Authorities have not adequately addressed how they are ensuring constitutional rights to education are being met. Further investigation is needed to determine the reasons for student absence and the impact of existing programs. This situation raises concerns about equal access to education and future opportunities for Bulgarian youth.
