In Bulgaria, 71 per cent of 15-year-olds expect to graduate from university and 45 per cent expect to have a managerial or professional position by the time they are 30.

Both expectations are below the survey average compared to other countries (84% and 57% respectively). The data come from an OECD study on the social-emotional skills of 15-year-olds, released in Sofia and cited by BTA.
