Kindergarten enrollments in Sofia will start again on Monday April 6 2009.


In the previous year, kindergarten placing was solely determined by the date and exact time of the registration. For the purpose, a new online enrolment system had been introduced, which turned out to be unable to handle the numerous simultaneous connections and collapsed.
The resulting chaos led to deputy mayor for education Yordanka Fandukova handing in her resignation, which was not accepted by Sofia mayor Boiko Borissov.


This year, placement will be based on a points system. Points are based on current or permanent address of the family, and whether or not the parents of the child work or study in Sofia, among others. Additional points will be given when the child has brothers or sisters who have gone to the same school, or when the parents work within the educational system.


Enrolments will close on May 21. Two days later, the first classifications are expected to be ready.


Full application forms and conditions are available online at kg.sofia.bg.

Varna to require proof of residence for kindergarten enrollment

Starting the beginning of 2009, only children whose parents could prove permanent residence in Varna would be allowed to enroll their child in child care facilities in the city, according to a new regulation proposed by Varna mayor Kiril Yordanov. Another enrollment condition would be proof from the National Revenue Agency (NRA) that the parents had labour contracts with companies based in Varna municipality. The new regulations regarding the enrolment of children in local kindergartens were thought to be discriminatory, Dnevnik daily reported.
