STEM centres will be established in many schools across the country, the caretaker deputy prime minister for EU funds management Atanas Pekanov has announced. 

The idea of STEM education is hands-on learning focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. "Students need to have more access to the natural sciences - chemistry, biology, physics - to be visually introduced to their principles, to learn exactly those things that will make them the future inventors and researchers of Bulgaria," the deputy prime minister said. 

STEM centres will be set up in all regions of the country within the framework of the Recovery and Resilience Plan, Atanas Pekanov said, adding that the Plan provides for the construction of alternative heating in educational institutions based on renewable energy sources.
