According to Ms.Vanya Atanassova, Manager of the Municipal Department of Science and Education, all the reconstruction works in Plovdiv schools and kindergartens will be finished in time for the new school year, i.e. September 15th, 2003. The work is done by priorities. The number of the educational institutions in Plovdiv is 120 altogether. As Ms. Atanassova pointed in her interview to the Maritsa newspaper, the distribution of the reconstruction funds is as follows:
