Private schools offer specialized programs but charge high tuition fees, while public schools provide free universal education. This private school in Bulgaria offers programs in foreign languages and computer science, but admission is competitive and costs $3,000 per year, or $15,000 for the full 5 years. Meanwhile, public schools are free for all and also aim to provide a good education with updated facilities and extracurricular activities. Ultimately, both private and public schools should prioritize students learning and developing themselves.
