"There is no anti-vaccine attitude among teachers," Minister of Education Krassimir Valchev has told BNT, commenting on fact that only 24% of teachers wanted to be vaccinated against coronavirus. He added that teachers were a representative sample of our entire society. According to the Minister, the educational system was "generally functional", but the problem was that e-learning reduced students’ motivation to study and lowered the effectiveness of pedagogical interaction.

Minister Valchev says that students from the first to the fourth grade have not studied less in comparison to the previous years. He added that most parents want their children to go to school. According to him, there has been a slight rise in the number of Covid-19 cases this week, but the situation was still in the "favorable scenario".
