Zornitsa Rusinova

A trade union official has noted that Bulgaria's education system is not ready to work with migrant children.

Speaking at a roundtable dedicated to the migrant crisis, Yanka Takeva, who heads a teachers' trade union (part of union confederation CITUB), has warned of "double standards" about state support for migrants and Bulgarian adults which "leave society divided."

The state will finance employers in order to carry out training and qualification programmes for their employees during the inactive period of their operation instead of letting them go, announced Social Minister Zornitsa Rusinova.

Hundreds of people protested in front of the Bulgarian Parliament on Wednesday - young people and parents of disabled children.
