The problem of early marriages among Roma has returned amid the Covid-19 pandemic due to the lack of in-person classes, Tanya Hristova, educational expert and coordinator at Amalipe Center for Interethnic Dialogue and Tolerance, said in an interview for BTA.
More than 25 young students from a high school in Pazardzhik got married since the beginning of the school year. The same trend has been also witnessed in the town of Sliven.
The lack of devices for distance learning is another problem. Amalipe Center for Interethnic Dialogue and Tolerance has launched an academy for young mentors where more than 180 children from all over the country are trained to help their peers learn how to work with electronic devices, added Tanya Hristova.
