  • The article questions the necessity of publicizing data on school dropouts in Bulgaria.

  • The publication highlights the lack of answers regarding dropout rates and state interventions.

The question of how many children are dropping out of school in Bulgaria remains a significant concern, with the public's need for this data seemingly deemed unnecessary by authorities. The article probes the effectiveness of state measures aimed at reintegrating these students and upholding the constitutional mandate for education until the age of 16.

Despite the constitutional requirement, the state's response and the actual results of its interventions are unclear. The publication points to a conspicuous absence of answers regarding the scale of school dropout and the concrete actions being taken to address it.

This lack of transparency and clear data raises doubts about the commitment and efficacy of the systems in place to ensure every child receives the mandatory education they are entitled to. The article suggests a disconnect between the legal obligation and the practical implementation of educational policies.
