He said the Parliament should not approve the changes to the law without their participation, because it refers it directly affects the students.

Stressing that they have not received either written or any alternative type of a reply from the PM, the Parliamentary Chairman and Minister of Education, the students said this is why they have arranged the protest.

Netgazeti reports that no official representatives of the ministry have met the students, except from an ordinal staff member who tried to find out the reasons of the rally.
