The State Agency for Refugees reports impressive results from the national language training program, implemented with the financial support of the European Fund for Asylum, Migration and Integration.

The large-scale initiative covers four major urban centers - Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, and Haskovo, where foreigners with refugee or humanitarian status receive comprehensive Bulgarian language training.

The educational program includes in-depth grammar studies, communication skills, and cultural adaptation. Statistics show extremely high effectiveness - over 60% of those who completed the course are already integrated into the labor market or participating in additional professional qualifications.

The strategic plan provides for expanding the scope to 3,000 participants by the end of 2025, with a special focus on support for women and children.
