“There are numerous initiatives to mark 24 May, Day of the Slavonic Alphabet, Bulgarian Enlightenment and Culture, most of them online. There will be no celebratory processions,” said Minister of Education Krasimir Valchev.

“10-15% of all children are not covered by the system of distance learning. For them there will be additional activities. Some will repeat the grade, others will do additional studies. The activities for filling in educational gaps will take place in June and July. There will probably be summer study-halls as of 1 June so that parents can go to work. The final decision will depend on the epidemiological situation,” Minister Valchev said.
