Serbia gets EUR 102.3 million from IPA funds

Not one penny should go to anti-western, Putin lovers serbs.

30 million Euros in grants for "educational reforms" at a time when teachers' salaries are being cut, their burden of administrative duties being massively increased to the point where it adversely impacts on their ability to dedicate time to teaching and when ridiculous demands are being placed on their time to address issues generated by parents demanding unrealistic adjustments to decisions being made by schools. Isn't it about time teachers were allowed to do what they were employed to do....teach? The sad truth is that far too much importance is placed on reports, administration and duplicated paperwork along with meetings just for the sake of having a meeting. If someone really wants to reform education then they would do well to focus on the most valuable resource available to them, the thousands of dedicated and professional teachers. These are the people who are education the next generation of doctors, lawyers, bankers and all the other professionals who will take this country forward. I believe the government should reward the teachers appropriately for the hugely important work that they are doing. If things carry on as they are there is a very real possibility that many of these hugely talented professionals will give up and turn their backs on the whole sorry mess and I, for one, really wouldn't blame them if they did. Nobody should have to suffer these kinds of conditions, least of all our teachers.
