Teachers from all over the country are threatening to take lave or to submit letters of resignation in a statement to the Bulgarian National Radio.

A survey by the “Education” trade union at the Podkrepa Confederation of Labour shows that 80% of all teachers want a temporary switchover to online classes for the entire system of education.

The schoolteachers are worried by the growing number of teachers who have died of Covid-19. Teachers from the Facebook group “Teachers for a safe education” describe as ineffective and inadequate the measures taken by the ministry of health and of education to address the crisis at educational establishments.

They do not agree that the number of people infected at a given school has to exceed 20% for it to switch over to distance learning.
