Parents are organizing a protest in front of the Presidency building on Saturday to demand that 5th to 12th grade students return to in-person school attendance.
In an interview for the BNR, Ralitsa Vachkova, one of the mothers who are going to take part in the protest stated that during meetings with Minister of Education Nikolay Denkov, parents had demanded that noninvasive tests for Covid-19 for the schoolchildren be planned before the start of the school year, as well as that children return to in-person school attendance.
“We saw that in Western Europe children were not stopped from school last year, and regular testing was applied,” she said. In her words two vociferous groups of parents have formed. According to one children should go to school without any measures whatsoever, and according to the other the children should be shut up at home. “But the vast portion of Bulgarian parents waited, in silence, for decision-makers to do their job. But that job is not done,” Vachkova says.
