Pazardzhik Municipality Invests in Educational and Sports Infrastructure for the City's Future

Pazardzhik Municipality places education at the core of its long-term development, focusing efforts on modernizing the school environment and sports infrastructure.

Renovations have been carried out in 13 kindergartens and 15 mobile groups, providing higher quality conditions for children. Additionally, 6 new outdoor sports courts have been built for students, encouraging active lifestyles among youth.

Pazardzhik Municipality also works towards inclusive education, with the project “Equal Chance for Quality Education” providing free educational materials and promoting parental involvement.

Infrastructure development extends to the villages, where internal toilets and modern sports facilities were constructed. Modern STEM centers equipped with microscopes, 3D printers, robots, and other high-tech materials now operate in schools, stimulating children's interest in technology and science.

A leading project is the opening of a new physical education hall at the Primary School “Vasil Drumev,” financed with 1,490,057 BGN under the national strategy for the development of sports infrastructure. Currently, four modern sports halls operate in the municipality.

Pazardzhik has also become a leading center for modern pentathlon competitions in Southeast Europe, continuing to invest in its sports base. The city has built the country’s first professional obstacle course, licensed according to international standards.

Work on sports infrastructure includes funding for 51 sports clubs with over 1.2 million BGN, as well as improvements at swimming complexes. The city hosts numerous national competitions and tournaments.

Pazardzhik Municipality partners with leading universities, equipping new clinics for clinical education at the Pedagogical Institute and starting programs in specialties such as “Medical Assistant” and “Obstetrician” in cooperation with Plovdiv Medical University.

There are plans to attract international partners like SoftUni, which offers online IT education to the local youth. As part of the “Erasmus+” strategy, the city is involved in programs for international cooperation and exchanges with EU countries.

The municipality actively organizes a “Week of Specializations” for career orientation and analyzes local labor market needs to provide better prospects for the youth of Pazardzhik.
