Union and Air Force Academy employees they organized a protest rally on which they read the names of the managers of that institution who submitted resignations.
We are talking about licensed lecturers who resigned due to the dismissal of the long-term director Goran Cvijović and the appointment of Miroslav Lepir in his place, who they say has no experience in aviation.
The union filed a criminal complaint against Lepiro and informed the Ministry of Education about it.
According to N1, employees, parents and students gathered in the school yard, and the Ministry of Education was given a deadline to respond to their requests by the beginning of the second semester.
As union representatives in this school said on the eve of the protest, due to the resignations of responsible managers, trainings - theoretical and practical - were suspended, and now there is a further procedure of informing the Directorate of Civil Aviation and the European Union Organization for Air Traffic Safety about the managers' resignations.
It was pointed out that the union filed a criminal complaint against Lepiro for appointing a new manager instead of the dismissed Miloš Đukić, even though, as they say, on January 8, the director and the only authorized person was Cvijović.
With the resignation of the managers, the Academy lost its capacity, that is, the issuing of certificates.
The newly appointed director Lepir is an engineer by profession and had no contact with aviation itself.
Let us remind you that the employees first announced and then paused their resignations, after receiving an invitation for an interview with Prime Minister Miloš Vučević on January 9.
If the teachers and managers resign, the Ministry of Education will have a hard time finding an adequate replacement for them, because the teachers themselves are holders of certificates and international recognitions necessary for the school's work. With their departure, the Air Force Academy itself would lose its work certificates because it is not a license holder by itself, but relies on the certificates held by the teachers.
Parents: We will disable the second semester
After the resignation of 15 employees of the Belgrade Air Force Academy, who are in management positions and in the School Board, it is practically impossible to start classes in the second semester, Ivan Miletić, a member of the Council of Parents of that school, told FoNet today.
"There is no one left to teach vocational subjects to the children." In the second semester, they can come, eventually, to Serbian language or mathematics classes," said Miletić and assessed that all the problems in that school were "fixed" by the Minister of Education Slavica Đukić Dejanović, with the dismissal of director Goran Cvijović and the decision to replace him with a member Serbian progressive party without experience in aviation Miroslav Lepir.
Miletić stated that the concerned parents addressed Slavica Đukić Dejanović, but that their letter remained in a drawer, because there was no response.
On social networks, a new protest of employees, parents, pupils and students was announced for tomorrow at 15 pm, in front of the Air Force Academy.
