Like many previous ones, a new protest is being held this Friday at the intersection in front of the Basic Court in Niš to pay tribute to the victims in Novi Sad.
And then the participants will go on a walk "We came for the tapes of happy people" which ends at the RTS correspondence building.
"We will plaster the correspondence building with various posters, in order to show that we stand in solidarity with our colleagues from Belgrade, who are calling for a boycott of RTS." We want to show that we are persistent and determined, and that our actions will not be extinguished. The rebellion in Niš is growing," said a high school student, who wishes to remain anonymous, to "Vreme".
Which schools are on lockdown?
Four high schools in Niš have been under blockade for a month, and other high schools are slowly joining them in suspension or some other form of protest. Since a few days ago, the "Nikola Tesla" School of Economics and Electrical Engineering officially entered the blockade.
Graduates of the First Niš Grammar School "Stevan Sremac" blockaded the school at the end of December, and after the holidays, the remaining three grammar schools also stopped working, Juzne Vesti writes.
Classes were also suspended in the School of Law and Business, and most of the collective suspended classes in the School of Food and Chemistry, Music and Fine Arts. As of this week, graduates of the Electrical Engineering School "Nikola Tesla" have also been blocked.
"The graduates of the "Nikola Tesla" School of Electrical Engineering are entering a complete suspension of classes until further notice, that is, until the student demands are met. Due to the lack of teacher support, younger classes are not suspended. The class teachers of the graduating students have been called to a complete suspension", the students' statement reads.
"This is not an extended vacation”
The decision on the seven-day blockade was also voted by the students of the School of Economics.
"On February 18, the students of the School of Economics in Nis made a decision on their own initiative to enter into a peaceful blockade, which implies the suspension of classes for students of the 3rd and 4th year, which will last from February 21 to 28. It is important to indicate that the blockade is not, and will not be, an extended holiday, it is a sign of support for our fellow citizens, and a form of rebellion against the corrupt system", the students announced.
By the way, the School of Economics in Niš had an educational inspection visit on January 21, at the beginning of the second semester.
The school was working regularly at the time, and the educational inspection did not find any omissions, said director Vladimir Kuzmanović at the time.
There are a total of 24 secondary state schools in Nis.
And while there is no suspension in the remaining secondary schools, in many of them classes are shortened to 30 minutes - in the School of Fashion and Beauty, the School of Construction "Neimar" and the School of Medicine.
