Educators in Serbia continue their protests, which leads to the partial or complete suspension of classes in many schools. The strike, which has been going on since the beginning of the second semester, has spread to numerous cities, and in some areas, such as Užice and Čačak, schools are not open at all.
Part of the schools in Serbia continue the protest in full by suspending classes or by shortening classes to 30 minutes, and according to the president of the Independent Union of Educational Workers of Serbia (NSPRS) Dušan Kokot, in urban areas there is almost no school that works regularly and at full capacity.
Kokot told FoNet that there are cities where "everything is at a standstill", such as Užice, Čačak and Zrenjanin, stressing that this kind of protest in schools has not existed since the 1990s.
"It is difficult to give a uniform assessment, because not all schools are in the same scope of protests, but one thing is certain - the second semester has not started yet," Kokot believes.
He assesses that the educators, who are on strike, are not thinking about a different solution.
"Some schools that shortened classes to 30 minutes realized that the pressure and solidarity must be greater, so they decide to completely suspend classes," Kokot said.
Kokot added that fear no longer exists among teachers, and the only thing educators are thinking about is their responsibility towards students. Kokot also points out that the pressures to normalize teaching are everyday.
"For now, we are successfully dealing with that pressure." They threatened us with dismissal, so those pressures did not bear fruit," concluded Kokot.
The non-representative NSPRS called for the suspension of classes from January 20, the day of the calendar start of the second semester, until further notice, as a sign of solidarity with the students and as a protest against the agreement that the representative unions reached with the Government. Schools that are not members of any trade union also responded to that call, so some suspended classes completely, and in others, classes were shortened to 30 minutes.
