Education DM Atanasov announces his resignation


Deputy Minister of Education and Science Petar Atanasov announced his resignation from the post, saying his position is unattainable and ineffective, while changes in the sector have not materialized.

“It was with great pleasure and faith that I took the post, which I have held for the past 10 months. I entered a system that not only failed to change for years, but backtracked and eroded. Except for the endless formalities, nothing significant has taken place in the ministry. The changes we announced in the education sector are not happening. I said a week ago that the red light should already be lit,” says Atanasov in the open letter to Prime Minister Zoran Zaev.

Deputy Minister Atanasov, who holds a a PhD from the Institute of Sociological and Political-Legal Research, came to the post after being elected as MP in 2016.
