The Bulgatian education system is divided into 4 stages:

  1. primary
  2. secondary
  3. high school
  4. university


Primary education

Schools are mandatory as an age of 6 or 7. Students learn some of the basic subjects like for example witting, reading maths, history etc.


Secondary School

The next step is secondary education where each student can choose some of the subjects.

In this stage of the educational process a student is prepared enough to decide what he or she is interested in. There are mathematical, social, economic schools. This stage is mandatory.

After graduating from secondary school most of the students take a special exam in order to study in special High School.


High School

This is the most important stage from the whole education system but it is not mandatory. Students cannot go to a university if they do not have the High School Certificate.

Students can choose in what kind of high school they want to study and they are obliged to take the corresponding exam. There are Maths High School(they are the most popular), Language High school and so on.


University

This is the biggest step for the whole education is the University.

In order to have the ability to study in university students must have the High School Certificate with good to excellent result and also they must take one or more exams. There are almost all kinds of universities - some of them are national and other are international-class. All the universities are require fees to be paid.


Private schools

In Bulgaia there are also some private schools but only a small pcrcentage of the students can afford to study there because they are very expensive.
