Seven more primary schools (ES) from Tivat, Kotor and Zeta have been included in the preventive program "Skills for Adolescence", which is being implemented with the aim of developing socio-emotional skills in students, the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation (MESI) announced.
The government department said that training was held for about 50 teachers at the "Vladika Danilo" elementary school in Zeta and "Drago Milović" in Tivat, with the aim of implementing the preventive program "Skills for Adolescence".
"In order to increase the coverage of primary schools that implement preventive programs for the development of socio-emotional skills in students, the Ministry of Education and Science (MEIS) facilitated these trainings in seven primary schools from the municipalities of Tivat, Kotor and Zeta," the statement said.
It is stated that advisors at the Ministry of National Education and Training and national trainers, Aleksandra Kuč and Vesna Gajević, held training sessions for the program, which has been implemented in certain primary schools in Montenegro since the last school year with the support of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
Kuč and Gajević, it is added, transferred the knowledge and developed the skills necessary for the implementation of the program for socio-emotional learning for children to the training participants, which they will apply in the next two years through class community classes.
"In this way, the Ministry of Education and Science has made additional efforts to train as many teachers as possible to implement school preventive programs to strengthen the educational role of schools and ensure a healthier upbringing for our children," the statement said.
