Serbia’s new school year is beginning with familiar problems, including teachers’ salaries that remain below expectations and growing political influence over education.
The government speaks of reforms and investment in schools. Teachers, however, warn that their situation has not improved and that education is increasingly viewed through the lens of political loyalty.
The central questions for the new school year are who decides what students will learn, how schools will operate and how much teachers will be paid.
