Christmas vacation for students will be longer - from December 22 to January 3, an order of the Minister of Education Krassimir Valchev reads. As compensation for the discontinued attendance classes and measures against the spread of Covid-19, the mid-term recess for seventh to 12th graders will be one day - February 3.

The education process for children from 1st to 6th grade has been extended. Students up to third grade will not finish the school year on June 1, but on June 23. Other classes will continue to study until June 30, BTA reports.
