The Ministry of Education and Science has filed a report with the police and the prosecutor's office due to suspicions of illegal political campaigning at a school in Ugarchin. This was announced by acting Minister Sergey Ignatov during a visit to the Military Medical University in Varna.
Ignatov stressed that political activity in schools is strictly prohibited by law, and the Ministry of Education and Science has already ordered principals, teachers and administration to strictly monitor for such violations. “The case is absolutely unacceptable“, he said and specified that the teacher for whom the report was filed will be dismissed from her position. There are currently no other similar signals in the country, but if any are received, we will react immediately, BTA reported.
The minister assured that there is no danger that universities will be left without funding, but stressed that the allocation of funds depends on the adoption of a state budget. “We are working with the available resources“, he pointed out and added that a stable political environment is key to the normal functioning of the system.
