Students want school change its name to "Steve Jobs"

Students from a technical school for high school located in the city of Plovdiv, the second largest in Bulgaria, you can meet your college go by the name of Steve Jobs in a vote being held to choose a new patron.


On his 50th birthday, held in 2012, the educational institution must now meet by another name. She currently leads a tribute to Soviet leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, a name that does not bring the happiest memories for local people and will be replaced.

By the time students and teachers are debating about choosing a new school name, tells the local TV network TV7. While most students prefer to pay tribute to the pop star executive of Apple, a minority believes it appropriate to pay tribute to a scientist in the country.

One of the names listed to name the current school Vladimir Lenin is Peter Petroff, a Bulgarian-born American in 1917 and died in 2003 which was a NASA engineer and created the first wireless heart rate monitor, but that marked his name in history by inventing the digital clock.
