According to the Bulgarian Teacher's Union (BTU) over 1500 teachers and other school employees could soon lose their jobs.
Chair of the BTU, Yanka Takeva said that "we need to stop the unjustified closure of schools and we need to increase the number of ‘protected' schools," BGNES reported Saturday.
She continued that every closed school harms the education of at least 15% of the children due to traveling times to the next closest school. She added that in some cases children have no school with in a 150km radius from their homes and that 60 schools have been closed so far in 2009.
Up to 800 teachers have been given extra training in foreign languages and information technology this summer the BTU confirmed but Takeva added that if the plan to stop the 13th year (technical tuition for qualifications) in schools is carried out up to 1670 teachers and tutors could lose their jobs.
