Public councils will exercise civilian control over the Bulgarian schools. Pupils will receive a certificate for elementary education after completing the seventh grade, instead of the eight grade, the new act reads.

However, those schools and kindergartens will receive state financing if at least 20% of the children study there free of charge.
