While

the proportion of

rapidly went down over the provided period, the opposite trend was true for the

percentage

of those with primary or lower

education

. The highest

percentage

of

people

in all three years was for those with secondary

education

.

This

figure fell slightly throughout the six-year period, from 65% in 2002 to 61% in 2006 and 59% in 2008.

In contrast

, there was a significant change in the other categories. In 2002, 17% of Bulgarian

people

who left the country had higher

education

and 18% had primary or lower

education

, and those figures increased slightly to 20% and 19% in 2006, respectively.

However

, the

percentage

of

people

with primary or lower

education

saw a dramatic increase and stood at 32% two years later,

whereas

the opposite happened with the figure for

people

who had received higher

education

, as that

percentage

fell by 11% in 2008.
