If Covid-19 situation is favorable after January 4, the local district authorities will decide which schools and classes will resume in-class learning. Children from the 1st to the 4th grade will be the first to return to school. Later, priority will be given to 7th-12th grade students, Bulgaria’s Minister of Education and Science Krasimir Valchev said. Minister Valchev participated at a discussion with parents, initiated by Bulgaria’s Ombudsman Diana Kovacheva, BNT reported.

30,000 children are not effectively involved in e-learning, although some of them have smartphones. Schools have the right to pay for the Internet for children whose parents cannot afford it, Minister Valchev explained.
