The strike of educators

Confession of a teacher who is forced to teach a class: "I'm working and I'm ashamed"

No one will probably have an official census of how many of the more than 1.700 schools in Serbia are open on Monday and how many are not. While a large protest of educational workers is being organized in Belgrade from 11 a.m., in most institutions, when asked whether they will participate in the work stoppage, regardless of the agreement between the union and the state, the decision was made by the majority of the collective.

New protest by educators: "Give for salaries, not fake doctorates"

Another protest by educators who today left messages in front of the Government of Serbia: "Not everyone has the money to buy diplomas", "Crna Slavica" and others has ended. The requirements are the same. They are demanding that the initial salary of primary and secondary school teachers be equal to the republican average, and Prime Minister Miloš Vučević says - an increase of more than 12 percent is not possible.

The minister is accountable only to the president

State register of the ineligible

Under the weight of the affairs that are constantly coming up, we somehow do not notice that this government has so far made various strange lists of organizations, individuals, foreigners, and tried to list children as well. The repressive machinery is working, and the citizens seem to be protected only by the incompetence of those who operate the machine

To the teachers everything according to the list

The Government of Serbia has promised the teachers that they will restore their dignity by raising their salaries and protecting them from violence in the workplace. However, due to other priorities, the state allegedly does not have the money that the educators are asking for, and the response of the relevant ministries is - give us the lists of strikers

Dušan Kokot: It's time for enlighteners to take to the streets

Dušan Kokot stated that what is happening in education is a picture of everything that is happening in society, that the government is still of the opinion that "the system has not failed" and that there are no government officials responsible for the problems, which is why he expects that they will continue to behave unchanged

Slavica Đukić Dejanović: Rotating minister and all sorts of other things

The official of the Socialist Party of Serbia is one of the long-term political women. She has been at the top of the government for decades, holding all kinds of positions, from the president of the Assembly, to the director of the "Laza Lazarevic" psychiatric hospital, to the special adviser to Prime Minister Brnabić. It doesn't wave, it doesn't run out, and that's how it stays. Now she is the Minister of Education

Radical-Julian roots: Serbia as Belarus light

Where does Vučić's address to the European Union with tabloid vocabulary and the appointment of Vulin as director of the BIA lead? One thing is certain - the country is facing a series of defeats in which its president will present himself as the winner every time

Educators' protest: We demand legal protection and salary increases

Today's protest by education employees is a prelude to tomorrow's strike. Minister Ružić says that problems cannot be solved by a strike and does not reveal what the Working Group for the Prevention of Violence has done so far. The previous one, formed three years ago, did nothing

On the spot - Rally and counter-rally

But I don't have long boots

The fourth protest of the Military Union of Serbia was held on Saturday in front of the Serbian Government building. This time the Police Union of Serbia joined them, and the name of the protest was "Ministers, Leave!". On the other side of Nemanja Street, a hundred meters away, a counter rally was organized

The beggar's stick and the collapse of standards

The key question is whether the minister considers his department to be key and whether he can defend his opinion, provided he has one, before the prime minister that education and science deserve priority treatment

The strike of educators

Big business for small money

The Minister of Education, trade unions and teachers are leading a trench struggle that has been going on for four months. About 300 schools, mostly in Čačak, Gornji Milanovac, Kruševac, Niš and Zrenjanin, participated in the total suspension, and 600 in the partial suspension of classes.

A dewy superwoman

For several days now, I have been constantly encountering examples of humiliation, or milder underestimation, of women on local television. Well, let's reconstruct that "superwoman" from commercials, videos and front pages

Government-directed tabloid reality shows

The audience, although already experienced in consuming fake reality from the bottom of the tub, is still not sure what is staged and what is reality. Hardly anyone has time to read that the number of GSP vehicles on the streets of Belgrade has been reduced by ten percent, or to hear anything about the announced strikes of educators, party employment, the final agreement on the reduction of pensions

Civil service as a Serbian dream

The average monthly salary in the so-called public sector is about 15 percent higher than the average in the country, and about 25 percent higher than that of private employers. And most importantly, it obviously does not depend on success in the market - that's why it is "regular and safe", which is a very important "privilege" in our uncertain times.

Campaign from Megatrend

Rector and his assistants

With the message from the billboard, the Megatrend university empire caused dramatic reactions from the professional and ordinary public, but also showed how here money is greater than education and morals.
