Bulgarian students held protests on Monday after it became clear that only students from the so-called high-priority majors will have the right to receive European scholarships. After the meeting with Bulgaria’s Minister of Education and Science Meglena Kuneva the students declared readiness to continue their protests and insisted that scholarships should be bound up with the results. Both parties negotiated the establishment of a working group that will discuss whether some scholarships can be granted by the state budget. However, the European scholarships will be granted to the high-priority majors only. There are a total of 32 priority majors in Bulgaria, including pedagogy, physics, chemistry, plant-growing, stock-breeding, veterinary medicine, etc.
