We have extensive materials and overbooked schools, and for the supplementary work proposed by the Institute of Education, we need to have enough empty space and a scheduled time, Olivera Leković from the Educational Community of Montenegro said in Colors of the Morning.
He states that in recent days there has been a lot of controversy about supplementary work, which leads to the conclusion that the instructions are not sufficiently well and clearly laid out or feasible.
"We understand that some pressure in terms of what will be done, do we have any strategy to mitigate the consequences caused by the coronavirus pandemic. For what they are looking for, it is also very important that we do not have a scheduled date, there is no empty space. It is as if we do not hear each other , we always point to the overbooking of schools and we have information from UNICEF where, through a large analysis, it was determined that even two-thirds of schools, as far as physical infrastructure is concerned, do not have that minimum. We have up to two thousand students under one roof," said Leković.
He adds that due to the dismissal of the 42nd Government, the previous Minister of Education, Vesna Bratić, did not approve the tender for equipping the school in Tološi.
"The contractor claimed that he would meet the deadline, but we were not sure if school would start on September 1, the registration of the first class was not completed. Now it is happening on the fly and the parents do not want to enter into such a story and would rather stay in to the school where they are even though it is overbooked," explains Leković.
She said that they have good communication with the Minister of Education, Miomir Vojinović, and that it seems that he wants to make a change.
"We are in contact with a large number of colleagues and we see that there is hope and that there is someone from education who has a feeling for the problems and who could do something if given the opportunity."
Leković reminds that in December they submitted a petition with seven and a half thousand signatures and a request for an increase in the coefficient and payment of transportation, but that "they did not receive a single letter of response".
"It is a defeat for society, as we do not have a sense of what is the priority and the public does not react," she concluded.
