Are you tired of hearing that “Serbia’s education system is operating at full capacity” while students and professors continue to block and protest? Dejan Vuk Stanković, the man who should know, claims that the most important thing is that the education system is running at full capacity. But let’s see what that really means in practice.
Education or Farce?
Stanković told Insajder that all faculties will resume classes, implement the full curriculum, make up for missed lessons and exam periods, and receive quotas for new student admissions. Sounds great, right? But is it really so? While the government boasts, students continue to protest, block streets, and demand their rights. Is this a sign that something is wrong?
Blockades and Protests: Voice of the People or Chaos?
Student and citizen protests in Belgrade are ongoing. Gatherings in front of the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, the Faculty of Law, blockades of Branko’s Bridge and other intersections have become daily occurrences. Students demand justice, transparency, and respect for their rights. Is it possible that a system “operating at full capacity” ignores the voices of the youth who are the future of this country?
Moral Duty or Legal Obligation?
Stanković emphasized that it is now a moral duty and legal obligation for faculty administrations to unblock buildings. But how much of this is truly a matter of morality and how much is public pressure? And why does this even need to be said? If the education system functions properly, why are blockades and protests still ongoing?
Quotas and New Student Admissions: Solution or Just Numbers?
Receiving quotas for new student admissions sounds like a step forward. But is it just a number on paper or a real opportunity for young people to get quality education? Do faculties have the capacity and resources to accept new students and provide adequate teaching?
Conclusion: Reality or Illusion?
While politicians and officials claim the education system is operating at full capacity, the reality on the ground looks different. Protests, blockades, and student dissatisfaction show the problem is far from solved. Maybe it’s time to stop listening to empty phrases and start demanding real change.
