14 children and their parents organized a classroom and a Bulgarian language class outdoors in front of the Municipality of Burgas as a form of protest against the mandatory testing of children in school for Covid-19 and against online learning.

Parents of students from 105th High school in Sofia have sent a letter of protest to the President, the Minister of Education and the Minister of Health. They insist that their children be tested at home to avoid mental trauma.

"Having a positive test will lead to panic among children. The learning process will be disrupted, and how will a child with a positive test who will be waiting for his parents to come could cope with the stress? Will there be a psychologist or a doctor available on the spot?", the position of the parents reads.
