Vocational High School Forum school he warned that in To the Air Force Academy, "one of the best professional schools in Serbia, illegal and impermissible actions are taking place that seriously threaten the work of the institution, the interests of students and the rights of employees".
"Although all the positive regulations of the Republic of Serbia were followed in the selection process of the director, which was confirmed by the Republic Education Inspection, the Minister of Education made a decision to appoint as acting director a person against whom disciplinary proceedings were conducted and a decision was made to terminate the employment relationship due to attacks and threats to parents and employees," the Forum points out.
This act of the minister, according to the Forum, "grossly violated the provisions of the Law on the Basics of the Education and Training System, invalidated the lawful decision of the School Board and violated the principles of legal security and equality before the law", and at the same time "put into question the reputation of the school, the quality of teaching and the stability of the beginning of the new school year".
"Obvious personal and particular interests"
"The Forum of Secondary Vocational Schools notes with indignation that this is an obvious example of abuse of position and violation of the law, because there was no legal basis to reject the candidate Goran Cvijović, who was the only one who received the unanimous support of the school board and employees, and whose candidacy was confirmed as legal," the Forum states.
According to the Forum, "it is obvious that personal and particular interests are behind that decision, and not concern for the knowledge, expertise and future of the technicians that this school educates".
That's why the Forum demands "an urgent review of the minister's decision and the annulment of the illegal appointment of the acting director; the appointment of a legally elected candidate in accordance with the decision of the School Board and the findings of the educational inspection and the initiation of a procedure to determine responsibility for abuse of authority and deliberate violation of the law."
