Meeting with more than 400 teachers and principals from the southeastern regions of Haskovo, Kardzhali and Stara Zagora Bulgarian Minister of Education Meglena Kuneva discussed issues of pre-school and school education. The Education Minister supports the idea of Prosecutor General Sotir Tsatsarov for a ban on wearing burkas in schools. “I think he is right. This is already a fact in France under a special law. I believe Bulgarians are a tolerant and open people, but there are situations in which we should carefully evaluate every step we make”, she commented.
