New threats to school employees

The first constitutional appeals due to the violation of the constitutionally guaranteed right to education and attendance at elementary school to the schools were submitted on Friday (February 14), said the President of the Serbian Parliament Ana Brnabic.

As she added, more constitutional appeals will be submitted at the beginning of March.

The statement of Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabić is part of the threats that are sent to schools and educators on a daily basis, said Tatjana Vasović Novosel, director of the Belgrade Elementary School "Banović Strahinja".

In a statement to FoNet, Tatjana Vasović Novosel questioned whether the Constitutional Court will work and make decisions so quickly, given that they need two or three years for certain cases.

"If they make an express decision now, then it means that it is in the interest of preventing these suspensions and thus returning the students to school," Tatjana Vasović Novosel believes.

Noting that her school, after two weeks of complete suspension of work, switched to a protest in the form of shortening classes to 30 minutes, she sees the statement of the Speaker of the Parliament as a message to schools that do not hold classes, but also to those school institutions that have shortened classes, not to accidentally decide on a harsher form of protest.

"If we are one of those schools, if someone filed a report against us, we have not received it yet, we have no such knowledge," added Tatjana Vasović Novosel.

According to her, educators are already used to threats.

"We are threatened not on a weekly basis, but on a daily basis," said the director of the Belgrade Elementary School "Banović Strahinja".

Let us remind you that in part of the schools in Serbia, the second semester has not yet started, and part of the employed teachers hold thirty-minute classes.
