However, parallels will not be closed if the school is the only secondary school in the municipality
The largest number of vacancies in the Plovdiv region – a total of 20 – are in the profiled natural sciences class at the “Hristo Botev” high school in the town of Lucky. This is clear from the data presented by the Regional Department of Education after the fourth ranking for the 8th grade. Next comes the class with the same profile at “Otets Paisiy” secondary school in Kuklen, there are 19 unfilled positions. The interest in learning how to do manicures, pedicures and
nail surgery at “Anna Mai” high school in Plovdiv, there are 14 available places. However, this does not mean that these specialties will be closed.
“We are aware that most likely the classes in Lucky and Kuklen will not be filled, but these are the only secondary schools in these municipalities, so we will not close them. The municipal authorities will finance them if necessary,” he explained to “24 hours” the head of the Regional Department of Education Ivanka Kirkova. The manicure class at “Anna Mai” remains, as well as the new specialty “Mechatronics” at the “Georgi Benkovski” school in the village of the same name, although there are 15 vacancies. “There are 10 children enrolled in this class, it was created on the basis of a business idea and we, together with the management of Maritsa municipality, will try to develop it, after all, it was opened that year,” added Kirkova.
Another argument at this stage not to close classes is the students who will take remedial exams after the 7th grade. In Plovdiv and the region, there are about 300 of them. The children of Ukrainian refugees in our country are a reserve for filling the places.
