Sofia Education Deputy Mayor Yordanka Fandakova resigned Monday over the failure of the e-system for enrolment of children in the capital's kindergartens.
The official internet site, used by parents, who want to reserve places for their kids in a kindergarten, was overloaded due to an attempt of sabotage of the e-registration service, the company that created the site explained last week.
A total of 5,000 out of 12,000 children will not be taken to a kindergarten because of the lack of free places, data showed.
"I resign as I am obliged to take my managing responsibility, especially when the interests of so many people are concerned" Fandakova said.
More than 80% of the parents managed to enroll their children within six hours on February 4 before the system was blocked. Some of them tried to reserve a place more than once, which is among the possible reasons for the failure.
About 300 adults signaled over shifts in the candidates' positions.
