The number of Bulgarian school students has decreased from 856,000 in 2007/2008 to 749,000 in the period 2013/2014. The reason is the demographic decline combined with a growing number of whole families emigrating abroad.

This is what data by the National Audit Office related to the social and economic effects stemming from the school network optimization in the period 2012-2014 show.
