“We have to be honest: we organize online training quickly, it is compensatory, but partial. The budget for education is close to 4.8 billion, 14 million have been earmarked for equipment, 15 million for budget support, other funds have been redirected. There are approximately 20 million, 50-60 million is only from the state budget. ” With these words, Krassimir Valchev, Minister of Education and Science, began his participation in the “Benovska pita” program.

“School budgets are better than last year, more than 85% of the funds will go to equipment, air purifiers, disinfectants, each school decides only how to spend them,” said Valchev.

“We do not have the opportunity to give each child a device, between 107 and 108 thousand will be purchased. 20,000 devices are in the delivery process. 18,000 have already been delivered. A little over 30,000 do not study due to lack of electronic devices. There are also children with “expensive smartphones, but they are not committed. At the moment, some schools support others, “he explained.

“There will be exams for fourth, seventh, tenth and twelfth grade. If they are more in quarantine, an exam can be taken online. The situation will probably continue until spring, until April, May, but we cannot close.” Until then. I do not believe that the situation allows a permanent return of all the students until the spring, but a partial or alternation “, commented the minister.
