BGN 184 million more are needed, we just want the law to be respected, we don't want anything superfluous , Prof. Miglena Temelkova, who is the chairman of the Council of Rectors and rector of the Higher School of Telecommunications and Posts, explained to BTV.

"We received money that was late," commented Temelkova.

Not only the academic staff will receive an increase, but also the administrative staff. We need to work on a new funding model, she said.

On Wednesday, the Council of Rectors had a meeting first with President Rumen Radev, and then with Acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev and the Ministers of Finance Ludmila Petkova and Education Minister Galin Tsokov. The additional funding will provide the government with an increase in the remuneration of academic staff at public universities from 1 January 2024.
