The Bulgarian educational authorities are developing an innovative model to support young people forced to leave their homeland due to the military conflict. The new educational strategy aims to ensure the fastest and most painless integration of Ukrainian students into local educational institutions.
The large-scale program provides for creating additional study groups, organizing intensive language courses, and providing psychological assistance to children who have experienced traumatic experiences. Funding is carried out through a combination of national funds and European refugee support funds.
Statistics from the Ministry of Education show an impressive growth of Ukrainian students - by mid-2025, over 12,000 children are enrolled in Bulgarian schools. The program sets the ambitious goal of guaranteeing full integration and equal access to quality education for all young migrants.
The innovative approach includes an individual educational plan for each child, taking into account their linguistic and psychological characteristics. Experts from the Ministry of Education emphasize that successful socialization is a key factor in the future development of young Ukrainian citizens in Bulgaria.
