The strike of educators continues. Classes will be shortened to 30 minutes in schools in four cities in Serbia. In the meantime, the Minister of Education congratulates the employees in education on the Day of Serbian Educators, ignoring their demands
The strike of educators has begun. It takes place according to the "zonal" model. First, it involves shortening the hours in schools in Belgrade and Požarevac, and then every following week in other school administrations
Much depends on the strength of the protest announced for Friday, say educators. What is all planned?
Instead of a strike by educators, Serbia has a series of small protests and short work stoppages that clearly do not leave an impression on the authorities. "Time" investigates why it is so
The offer to increase salaries in education by 11 percent from January 1, 2025 is final, stated the Minister of Education Slavica Đukić Dejanović
The Government of Serbia presented the final offer to the representatives of the education and preschool education union: an 11 percent increase and a one-time payment of 15.000 dinars
From November 4, school hours will be shortened to 30 minutes, and the first week of strike will be in schools in Belgrade and Požarevac. The educators invite their families to come to the big protest that will be held on November 1 in Belgrade
Members of four representative trade unions of education will also hold a large protest in Belgrade on November 1. It was also decided that from November 4 preschool institutions will accept children from nine classes
Four representative education unions sent their decision-making bodies a proposal for education employees to go on strike, i.e. to hold a larger number of strikes during November
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.
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
After the suspension of work on September 16, the Ministry of Education sent a letter to school principals requesting precise data on the number of teachers who suspended work, as well as the fact that school principals are not allowed to inform parents and students about this, and that in that situation the principals are concerned for the safety of children
Aleksandar Makov from the Forum of Belgrade High Schools tells "Vreme" that if a common language is not found with the Government, radicalization of the protest is also possible.
Educators blocked traffic in Nemanja Street in Belgrade, after which the protest soon ended. Dissatisfied teachers started protests at noon in all major cities of Serbia. The suspension of classes in many schools throughout Serbia is, they say, a warning sign to the Government that it is necessary to fulfill the promises made
Educators will no longer be satisfied with the crumbs they throw at us when it gets thick, says the president of the Union of Trade Unions of Belgrade Schools, Snežana Romandić.
The Education Unions announced a work stoppage on September 16 and protests in cities across Serbia. They cite the unfulfilled promises of the Government as the reason
The struggle to fulfill the requirements for amending the Criminal Code and increasing the salaries of educators is yet to come. At this moment, before negotiations with the Government on August 30, it is too early to talk about possible further protests. If there is a need for them, let's hope that the scenario of shortening classes at the beginning of each school year, seen so many times, is no longer the only way out. In any case, although they are not completely formulated in the same way, the union's demands are certainly not contradictory because they concern the same problems, security and financial, of all educational workers.
Grades have become the most common cause of verbal and physical violence against educators, so the Independent Union of Educators of Serbia (NSPRS) says that if the state does not do anything, they will hand out all A's to students.

The revolt of the workers in "Jura" shows that people are pushed against the wall and have nowhere else to go, Melania Lojpur from the Center for Emancipation Policies, which recently researched workers' rights, told "Vreme"
Due to the start of negotiations with the factory management, the workers in Jura changed the dynamics of the strike. Labor law expert Mario Reljanović pointed out that it is very brave to strike against such employers
A general strike began in front of the Jura factory in Leskovac on Tuesday. Unionists claim that the number of workers present is far less compared to previous protests warning of intimidation. In Jura, they claim that the right to strike is being abused
Employees of Belgrade gymnasiums and members of the Forum of Belgrade Gymnasiums held a warning strike in front of the Sixth Belgrade Gymnasium, and the main demands of the protest were the immediate dismissal of the director of the Sixth Belgrade Gymnasium, Radisav Milić, and the immediate suspension of the disciplinary proceedings initiated against Professor Uroš Tepavac.
