Summary
This empirical survey study aims to define the motivational profile for educational migration among high school graduates in the city of Varna. First, a descriptive frequency analysis will be used to identify those who wish to continue their education in Bulgaria. Next, a comparative analysis will examine whether those leaving speak more languages than the remaining respondents. The third part of the empirical study will rank the motives by importance for respondents leaving their homeland and analyze the correlations between them. The analyses were performed using SPSS Statistics. The key findings indicate that internal factors have a stronger influence, and the primary motivations for educational migration among the respondents are the desire for personal development, followed by the pursuit of a better education.
