Summary/Abstract: The relevance of the topic of the report is indisputable. We live in difficult times – the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, natural disasters that have led to reversals in human development. In overcoming the consequences of these cataclysms, countries do differently in their development. Since 1989, the United Nations has examined the level of this development through a scale of high, medium and low human development, on which it calculates a Human Development Index (UNDP) based on three indicators: life expectancy, education and income level, and ranks countries according to the results obtained in the three categories. At that time, Bulgaria occupied the 24th place, and in the 2021 ranking – the "prestigious" 68th. More fundamentally, we will dwell on the role of education, trying to answer an important question: why are we lagging behind in the age of technology?
