Acting Education Minister Sergey Ignatov said that his recent visit to Kyiv came at a critical moment, stressing that it could not be delayed. According to him, the signing of a protocol with his Ukrainian counterpart was decisive for the future of the Bulgarian High School in Bolgrad. Without this agreement, there had been a real risk that upper secondary classes would be discontinued as early as this year due to ongoing educational reforms in Ukraine that are phasing out older structures.
