In his welcoming speech to the students, teachers and parents, the Minister of Education Prof. Nikolay Denkov wished them a successful start and full attendance throughout the school year. "We welcome it more experienced, prepared and responsible; more knowledgeable and capable, and therefore more confident. I believe we can do it together," the minister said.
