This became clear from the words of the Minister of Education, Academician Nikolay Denkov, at a press conference at which he presented the priorities of the Ministry of Education and Science this year.
“In order to be able to merge the two previous weekends with the next two weekends and thus get nine days. We have a branch council. This is the proposal that I will enter into it.”
The same proposal was issued yesterday by the Association of Directors in Secondary Education and the Trade Union “Education” part of “Podkrepa” Labor Confederation.
Minister Denkov's proposal for a longer vacation for students will be discussed during the forthcoming Branch Council in the field of education on Friday.
