Over 100 school employees lost jobs since minister's appointment, says SRCE party

More than 100 employees in Serbian schools have lost their jobs, and over 110 disciplinary proceedings have been launched against teachers since Dejan Vuk Stanković assumed the role of education minister. The Srbija centar (SRCE) party released these figures, accusing the government of "panicked fear" of the academic community and educators who participated in mass protests. According to SRCE, approximately 100 school principals were either dismissed or forced to resign for refusing to implement party directives and penalize striking colleagues. The party also highlighted that professors at Serbian universities who supported the pro-democracy movement are losing their positions through rigged re-election processes and secret ballots. SRCE cited the recent case of Vladimir Mihić, an associate professor at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, whose contract was not renewed after 24 years of service, as an example of this trend.
