Summer season of 2018 began with 594 summer Qur’an courses for children and ended with a total of 581 courses. They all were held in different settlements at all 20 regional mufti’s offices in the country. This became known at the last for the season working meeting of the coordinators of the summer Qur’an courses from entire Bulgaria. It was held at two places in the country – in Shumen and in Ustina, respectively on September 24 and 25 this year.
