BULGARIA - Rights of People with Intellectual Disabilities: Access to Education and Employment
"Rights of people with intellectual disabilities: access to education and employment in Bulgaria", a new report produced by the Open Society Institute, highlights the fact that people with intellectual disabilities in Bulgaria have very limited access to both education and employment, and remain dependent on State benefits and on their families. The monitoring report was produced by the Open Society Institute (EUMAP and Mental Health Initiative) in cooperation with the Open Society Foundation - Sofia and the Bulgarian Association for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (BAPID). It is part of a series of fourteen country reports on the rights of people with intellectual disabilities in Europe. The reports monitor the degree to which existing international standards and national legislation are heeded and applied. Each report contains a list of concrete recommendations for improving policies, and ensuring the implementation of these policies in practice. To receive a copy of the report, please use the Publication order form.
