Ministry of Education

Parents of children enrolled in compulsory pre-school education will soon have the flexibility to request up to 15 days of absence from kindergarten for family reasons within a school year. This adjustment comes as part of a draft amendment to the Ordinance on preschool education, recently published for public discussion on the Ministry of Education and Culture's website.

It is a part of the new rulebook, which states that the majority of parents of students in the same school department submit objections to the work of teachers, psychologists and pedagogues.

The 6th of March has been established by the Ministry of Education as the National Day against School Violence and Bullying

"Teachers are the ones we have to have the most trust in, parents are there to help, not to decide instead of the teacher," it was written in the description of the post.

The Rulebook is harmonized with the amendments to the Law on the Basics of the Education System in the past year.
Sneana Vukovi, head of the Department for Human and Minority Rights in Education at the Ministry of Education, said today that the rulebook is comprehensive and contains preventive measures, which was not the case in the past.

Students and teachers rallied in central Athens on Thursday to protest against the establishment of private universities in Greece.

Despite the rain, protesters gathered at Propylaia and are expected to mark towards the Parliament. 

As the media reported, the students could be on vacation from February 12 to 16. They would return to the benches on February 19.
The Ministry of Education has not sent any request to school principals, which refers to the statement regarding the extension of the Sretenje vacation for the whole next week, nor has such an initiative reached the Ministry of Education so far.

The Ministry of Education has clarified to universities that remote exams for the current winter semester are mandatory for schools and faculties that are under occupation, holding the leaderships of the institutions and academics accountable for any loss of the examination period for students. 

Greek university rectors were holding an extraordinary meeting on Monday to explore alternative options for conducting semester exams due to numerous faculty occupations by students protesting government plans to facilitate the establishment of private universities.

Members of the Ministry of the Interior also informed Prime Minister Ana Brnabi that a thorough investigation is underway to find out who sent the bomb alerts in Belgrade schools.
