Ana Brnabić boasted about the small share of secondary schools on strike or with interruptions in classes due to protests... But that share is not so small
Speaker of the Parliament of Serbia Ana Brnabic claims that only eight are intermediate school in complete suspension of work, which, according to her calculation, is only 0,4 percent of secondary schools.
"Just imagine the crime against those children. Imagine how much they are discriminated against, how much their chances are denied in advance compared to their peers," she wrote on the X network.
Furthermore, she claims that in another 111 secondary schools there are teachers who do not hold classes or whose classes are shortened, which according to her is 6,3 percent of all secondary schools.
The triumphant message that all the tabloids also carried: "So, 93,3% of secondary schools in Serbia work completely normally."
However, Brnabić either does not know the account or has deliberately or accidentally confused the data.
Today, only eight (8) high schools are completely closed. That is 0,4% of the total number of high schools in the Republic of Serbia! Just imagine the crime against those children. Imagine how discriminated against they are, how much they are denied chances in advance compared to their peers. At the same time, it is only…

Namely, according to the Republic Institute of Statistics, there are 518 secondary schools in Serbia this school year (493 regular and 25 for students with developmental disabilities and disabilities).
This means that 119 schools where classes are absent or irregular or shortened actually make up 23 percent of all secondary schools, that is, almost every fourth one.
That is, classes take place "completely normally" in 77 percent, and not in 93,3 percent of secondary schools.
Ana Brnabić's "data" match if you take the percentage of all schools - that is, both primary and secondary schools - and not only secondary schools. But she didn't write like that.
Propaganda terror with lies and various confabulations, which is currently carried out by regime tabloids led by Informer, is part of the anti-rule of law pattern of action, it was stated in the statement of the Tomanović law office.
High Representative of the EU for Foreign and Security Policy Kaja Callas spoke with Serbian authorities and detained activists
The protest was organized after the statement of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and SNS President Miloš Vučević, that four people who beat students and one female student broke her jaw in three places - "heroes".
While colleges vote on the beginning of online classes, students demand elections, and the government draws targets for "enemies". How does he choose them?
In their conversation with Kaja Kalas, the opposition MPs emphasized that it is extremely important for the EU to support students and citizens
Lucky that Serbia has the "Informer research team"! Dragan J. Vučićević discovered the infernal plan of "criminals" and "blockaders" at the last minute and thus saved the country again. That he is lying is less important
Keeping sociology professor Marija Vasić in prison on charges of terrorism is an anti-civilization crime. Or grotesque, whatever you want. Why don't judges, prosecutors, policemen, security guards rebel against it
In a speech that made no sense from the point of view of logic and integrity, Vučić offered his voters everything they wanted to hear. But, all in contradictions. The spirit of rebellion can no longer return to the bottle because the bottle is broken
