World Bank: Quality of Bulgarian education decreases

Decline in the quality of education in Bulgaria over the last decade - this finding is made by the World Bank in its latest update of the Human Capital Index. The index predicts a child's chances of developing their full potential and being in good health when they reach adulthood. 

Bulgaria is mentioned in the report with another worrying example - a reduction in the years of study.
