Only 50 of the 166 school days studied in our country

During this school year, the Minister of Education Denkov several times came into conflict with the health authorities so that students could learn in person. So far, things are more optimistic, although on October 21 the schools went online.

58 of the 86 school days were attended

until January 17, excluding holidays and weekends.

“Unlike other years, in the last two pandemics we have no shortage of school time. At least 3 weeks ago, schools were closed due to the flu epidemic, “said Diyan Stamatov, chairman of the Union of Employers in the Public Education System and director of the 119th school in Sofia.

The positive tests for COVID of the students in our country have increased significantly over the last week, in some places even 7-8 times. This was announced to “24 Chasa” by principals. The growth of the infection in the schools makes it necessary to have an extraordinary vacation between the first and the second term. For now, the non-school day is scheduled for February 1.

Diyan Stamatov suggested on Sunday that the vacation be from January 28 to February 2. Request for

longer vacation, but in the period

January 31 – February 4

yesterday they brought the teachers’ union to Podkrepa. The decision must be made by the industry council by the end of this week.

The Minister of Education Nikolay Denkov also spoke about an extended winter vacation, but if the school year starts earlier, not on September 15, but on September 5. In this way, students will be able to study longer in person, instead of constantly going online.

If the beginning of the school year is withdrawn on September 5, Bulgaria will be closer to the practice in other EU countries. Most of the beginning of the year is on September 1. For example, it is in Czech Republic. The school year ends there on June 30.

V Italy each of the 20 areas is autonomous in solving the study calendar

V England

the school year is 190 days,

starting on September 3 and ending on July 22. There are four holidays – one week at the end of October, in February and May and two weeks for Christmas and Easter.

This has been the case for decades, and even during the pandemic, no one discussed a change in schedule.

Therefore, coronavirus leak recovery programs are made differently. Directors are free to decide which will be most appropriate. As students in England usually study from 8.45 to 15.15, some decide to catch up before or after the end of the school day. It happens that they are not led by their teachers, but by specially hired outsiders. A register of former teachers has been set up, whom schools can count on for part-time work. Other schools are focusing on organizing summer camps, which are also funded by the catch-up program. To this end, the British government plans to allocate 4.7 billion by 2025. (24 hours)
