Nearly half of all young people in Bulgaria cannot interpret the meaning of what they read. Tens of thousands of children drop out of school every year. Every fifth young person in Bulgaria is neither in employment, nor in educa- tion and training. Labor shortage stunts business growth in Bulgaria. There is a lack of capable individuals who can work towards improving this reality in the education system in Bulgaria.

The first known civilization in the region was that of the Thracians, whose culture reached a peak in the sixth century B.C. Because of disunity, in the ensuing centuries Thracian territory was occupied successively by the Greeks, Persians, Macedonians, and Romans. A Thracian kingdom still existed under the Roman Empire until the first century A.D., when Thrace was incorporated into the empire, and Serditsa was established as a trading center on the site of the modern Bulgarian capital, Sofia.
