Here we go again, our Minister of Education Dejan Vuk Stanković met with school administration leaders to talk about the “important” stuff for the upcoming school year. Of course, it’s all about “high quality work” and “student progress,” but is it really? The minister praised the successful completion of the final exam, which covered the entire student population, and thanked the school administrations for their efforts. But let’s be real — how much real support and quality is there on the ground in schools? School administrations are supposed to provide advisory support, professional supervision, and external evaluation, but does it actually work or is it just another bureaucratic tale?
The minister stressed the importance of starting the new school year at full capacity, but what does that mean in practice? Will schools be ready to face the challenges of modern education, or will we see the same old problems? The system is full of challenges, and the final exam is just one piece of the puzzle. Will there be real investment in teachers, professional associates, and school infrastructure, or will it all remain just nice words and press releases?
If you think this is just another meeting full of buzzwords, you might be right. But let’s watch what really happens when the school year begins. Will students and teachers feel the difference, or will everything stay the same? If you have your own take, feel free to share it — maybe together we can uncover what’s really behind these ministerial statements!
