According to the JOURNAL OF MEDIA LITERACY Bulgarian students
from the Program for International Student Assessment—PISA:
“Bulgarian students take the last position for media literacy among
other EU countries. 41% don’t have the ability to understand a text

and they admit to be media illiterate. This means they
can read, but they don’t understand the meaning of the text...”

(Popova, 2020).

These results are shocking in a country, where internet coverage
has reached even distant and rural areas and children start using

smart phones and computers at a very early age. That is why in the
last few years some companies, schools and universities focus on

the need for media literacy. They understand that they have to
develop strategies, which can increase the level of media literacy in
the society.
