48.3 of the teachers in the country have been vaccinated. There has been no progress in recent weeks. 9.23% of high school students are also vaccinated.
Sick high school students by nearly 8%. This is what the Minister of Education, Academician Nikolay Denkov, is applying for in the studio of Face to Face.
He added that on average for the country there are 5.18% of teachers diagnosed with COVID19, with the most in Blagoevgrad district, where 9.78%, and the least in Targovishte district – 1.56%. 1.98% of the students in the country also have COVID-19, with the most in the district of Sofia-city 3.5%, and the least in the district of Kardzhali – 0.3%
“Very different in different areas. Therefore, solutions at the national level are currently not appropriate and seek solutions at the district and municipal level. Health authorities decide what proportion of students should leave school, and what we decide is whether or not they will study online. From our point it is good to stay from 1st to 4th grade as long as possible in school.
I recommend 7th, 10th and 12th grade to stay longer because they have attempts, “Denkov added.
Earlier today, scientists from the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH) sent an open letter to Prime Minister Kiril Petkov asking why NIMH is being transferred from the Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Environment and Water with the draft State Budget Act. According to the case of Prime Minister Denkov, the following follows: The Ministry of Education and Science does not have a single institute, this will appear three years ago. According to the law on scientific research, the Ministry of Education and Science deals with this in order to create the policy and organize their implementation. We have no commitments to specific institutes under our hat. Our role is to be equally distant and equally fair to all institutes in Bulgaria. In no way did I want to change the status by which the NIMH is financed “, additionally the Minister of Education.
Denkov added that the relocation was initiated by the caretaker Minister of Environment and Water Asen Lichev in a letter dated July 16, 2021.
