The focus of this article is on the role of civic education and the challenges facing it in Bulgaria. The primary objective is to examine civic education and the challenges in the development of schools as key educational institutions, preparing young people with a developed civic consciousness to become fully-fledged, active citizens of Bulgaria. The writing of the article was provoked by the fact that often the responsibility for the development of civic education is attributed solely to the school. The fact is that it is the main educational institution within which students acquire structured and systematic knowledge about state institutions, democratic principles, values, rights, responsibilities, etc., but it should be borne in mind that the family, civil society, the media, etc., also have an attitude towards civic education. Therefore, the article defends the thesis that civic education is not the task of only one institution, but is a common and collective responsibility. The level and development of civic education is the result of a complex interaction of institutions and organizations. The formation of responsible, informed, and active citizens cannot be the responsibility of only one of them, and therefore, the study of civic education requires a comprehensive approach, which should take into account all other parties in the process.
