If there is no response to the requests it will send to the authorities, the Student Parliament of the University of Montenegro (SPUCG) is ready for other forms of action, said the president of SPUCG. Jakov Vukcevic.
The organization announced that in the coming days they will present clear demands to the authorities, because their long-standing problems are being ignored. Some of the key demands concern the adoption of a new Law on Higher Education with a new study model and the so-called transitional solution for students who are currently in the higher education system, the adoption of the Law on the Performance of Student Affairs, the ranking of universities and numerous other initiatives that SPUCG has been advocating for for years.
Vukčević said that the Minister of Education, Science and Innovation was invited to the roundtable "From Studies to Work: Reforms, Outcomes and Quality" Andjelu Jakšić Stojanović, Minister of Labor Naida Nišić and Minister of Sports and Youth Dragoslav Šćekić, but they all canceled their participation.
"In the last 24 hours, we have received messages of refusal or cancellation from the invited heads of ministries. This is the second time that we have unsuccessfully tried to bring them together to provide answers to certain questions, which are of great importance to the student population. All this speaks to the seriousness with which they perceive the resolution of numerous issues and how high a priority it is on their agenda," said Vukčević.
He pointed out that they do not want the authorities to remember them only on the occasion of national and international Students' Day, but are looking for answers to long-standing problems that affect the entire student population.
"We have proposals and ideas for solving long-standing problems and we expect the ministries to finally take more concrete steps in that direction," said the President of the SPUCG.
