A total of 62 000 students from across Bulgaria are sitting Tuesday for their obligatory matriculation in Bulgarian language and literature.

The State administered high-school exit exams in Bulgaria include a mandatory exam in Bulgarian language and literature (BEL) and a second mandatory exam where the students have the right to choose the subject.

The high school seniors are working on an essay about the poem "Exiles" of prominent Bulgarian writer Peyo Yavorov.

The second exam is scheduled for May 23. Both matriculations start at 8 am.

For the second consecutive year, the Education Ministry is organizing on the same day the middle school exit exam for students in grade 7. It starts at 10 am in 1 822 schools across Bulgaria.

The seventh graders are taking their social studies, foreign language, and natural sciences exams on May 27, 28, and 29.

The high school exam is held in 653 schools in the country with students being selected randomly in order to avoid cheating. They are not taking the exam in their own schools for the same reason. Other measures are being taken as well.

The seniors are required to use a black ink pen, and the seventh-graders – a blue one.
