That was how Minster of Education Meglena Kuneva explained, in a televised interview, the idea of giving scholarships amounting to 30 euro, after selection, to Roma children who have made it to the 9th grade. 500,000 euro has been set aside for these scholarships, with around 60 percent coming from an international Roma fund.
