The strike, supported by the Union of Bulgarian Teachers (UBT), is in protest of the education ministry's plans to close 10 per cent of the schools and kindergartens, largely in poorly populated areas, and to lay off thousands of teachers.
Štrajk, koji pomaže Sindikat bugarskih nastavnika (UBT), organizovan je u znak protesta zbog planova Ministarstva za obrazovanje da zatvori 10 odsto škola i obdaništa, uglavnom u slabo naseljenim oblastima, i da otpusti hiljade nastavnika.
