Many countries are facing a problem of teacher shortages. However, unlike other states that are actively seeking to implement measures to entice new personnel, the Government of Serbia still hasn’t announced any ideas on how it will solve this far-reaching problem in a high-quality way
Following last year’s presenting of the document entitled ’Platform for improving the status of teaching study programmes at the University of Belgrade and preserving the education system in the Republic of Serbia’, we’re returning to this topic at the start of a new school year that has been marked by yet more falling interest in enrolling in teaching professions among students, and continued declining interest in higher education generally. We posed several questions to our interlocutors, some of whom are signatories of the Platform, in an effort to gain a better understanding of what’s happened with their initiative and why teachers continue to be disaffected.
