According to wholevehicles, Bulgaria is located in the southeastern part of Europe, with a territory that encompasses 42,855 square miles. The country is bordered to the north by Romania, to the east by the Black Sea and Turkey, to the south by Greece and North Macedonia, and to the west by Serbia. Bulgaria has a varied landscape with coastal plains along the Black Sea, mountain ranges in the interior of the country, and lowlands in between. The highest peak is Musala at 9,596 feet above sea level. Bulgaria has a rich cultural heritage with influences from both its Slavic and Balkan neighbors. The official language is Bulgarian which is an Indo-European language related to Russian and Polish. Other languages spoken in Bulgaria include Turkish and Romani as well as Greek among minority populations. In terms of education, Bulgaria has an extensive system that includes both public and private schools throughout the country. Primary education begins at age 6 or 7 (depending on when a student starts school) and lasts for 8 years while secondary school covers grades 9 through 12 lasting up to 4 or 5 years depending on whether a student opts for a vocational or academic track upon graduation. Higher education includes universities as well as technical colleges offering specialized degrees in areas such as medicine or engineering. The government provides free primary and secondary education to all citizens as well as free textbooks for students in primary school up until grade 9. In addition to this there are several scholarship programs available from both public institutions as well as private companies offering financial assistance to students who wish to pursue their studies abroad or within Bulgaria itself at one of its universities such as Sofia University “St Kliment Ohridski” or University of Plovdiv “Paisii Hilendarski”. The government also places great emphasis on English language proficiency with English being taught from primary school onwards with additional classes offered during secondary school if necessary. This focus on English language proficiency has enabled many students who have graduated from tertiary institutions within Bulgaria or abroad to find employment either locally or internationally due to their ability to communicate effectively in English.
