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.
A gathering of support for educators and students was held in New Belgrade on Saturday (February 8), when many parts of this municipality were blocked.

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.
The state offers wage increases, but not enough. This week, therefore, educators are deciding whether the semester starts on time or whether to go on strike
The Serbian authorities have decided to respond to blockades and strikes in secondary schools with a quick winter break. But that will not diminish the rebellion of students and teachers

After the end of the summer vacation, students return to school with numerous changes, including a reduction in the number of students per class, a shorter vacation, stricter dress codes and new measures to combat violence, while the traffic police and the campaign "Be careful" take care of the safety of students on the road to school.
Serbia has not yet recovered from the May tragedies, when 17 people, mostly children and young people, were killed in just two days.

On that occasion, the socket broke, fell slightly into the floor, and through the socket, the colleague's foot also sank slightly into the floor of the reading room gallery. Under pressure, a small piece of plaster fell from the floor of the gallery, i.e. the ceiling of the reading room (viewed from the ground floor) another colleague who at that moment was studying in the reading room on the ground floor".
