The new school year will begin on September 16 at the "Yordan Yovkov" Secondary School in the city of Kardzhali with a special dress code. Motifs of Bulgarian embroidery will be mandatory for the clothing of all teachers and students in the school on the first day of school. The idea came from the school team and is a continuation of the tradition of native folklore being a part of school life, BNR Kardzhali has reported. The festive program for the opening includes Bulgarian folk songs and dances.

The Donation Campaign "Give Hope Instead of a Bouquet" is another highlight for the school's festive first day of school. Instead of giving flowers to their teachers, the children will collect money to help the people of the Bulgarian villages who suffered in the big fires this summer.
