Caretaker Minister of Education and Science Sasho Penov was in Prague on Thursday for the 75th anniversary of the Bulgarian school there named after scholar Dr Petar Beron. In his speech for the anniversary, which is on March 31, Penov said: "Teachers are free to choose the methods and means of teaching in secondary education. People know what they are doing and, as they say, 'Less bossing around, please'. I feel that the children at the Bulgarian secondary school in Prague act freely and can share their dreams at ease."

BTA Director General Kiril Valchev also attended the event. In his speech, Valchev expressed gratitude to the school for the frequent updates on its activities and shared his hope for even more news coming from Bulgarians in Czechia.

According to Valchev, updates on the activities of Bulgarian educational institutions abroad should be sent to BTA at least monthly, and this should be one of the conditions for those institution being funded. He pointed out that BTA makes sure to translate into English the most important and curious news coming from schools.

Valchev pointed out that BTA also celebrated an anniversary this year - 125 years since it was founded. "News on BTA have been entirely free to access for more than a year now," he added.

Addressing the Dr Petar Beron school administration, Valchev said: "We have an average of 500-600 news stories a day, photographs excluded. I would be delighted to see you start using BTA as an absolutely reliable source of information and use the opportunity to pass this on to your students."

Speaking of the World Meeting of Bulgarian Media, the Director General said: "It is not enough to just meet once a year for 3 days, so we started a special section in the BTA website - BG World".

Valchev spoke about the joint agreements that BTA signed with dozens of foreign news agencies and revealed that talks between BTA and the Czech News Agency are underway.
