The chart below gives information about the level of education of Bulgarian people who wanted to go and live in another country in 2002, 2006 and 2008.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The chart shows that there were changes in the level of education of Bulgarians who planned to leave their country over the period 2002 to 2008.
The highest category of people in all three years was those with secondary education. The figure fell slightly over the three years, from 65% in 2002 to 61% in 2006 and 59% in 2008.
However, the figures in other categories changed significantly. There was a sharp rise in the percentage of people with primary or lower education, from 18% in 2002 to 32% in 2008. This figure only rose by 1% in 2005 but in 2008 it rose considerably.
The opposite happened with the figures for people who had received higher education, which rose slightly in 2006 but then fell very sharply to 9% in 2008.
The general trend, therefore, was that the proportion of people with higher education who planned to leave the country fell sharply, while the proportion of people with primary and lower education rose sharply. The percentage of people with secondary education remained much the same and it remained by far the highest percentage.
