Parents who deliberately stop their children from attending school must bear criminal responsibility, according to amendments to the Penal Code, filed to the National Assembly by IMRO – Bulgarian National Movement.

MPs are still debating whether the sanction should be a fine, community service or imprisonment.

According to IMRO, depriving children of education must be considered a serious crime. The Bulgarian Constitution is also being often violated, as it explicitly states that education is compulsory until the age of 16.
