He especially emphasizes that students need a period of adaptation after interrupted classes and that they cannot have eight or nine classes a day all at once.Compensating for missed classes in primary and secondary schools began on Monday.The schools were obliged to submit the compensation plan by March 4, and Dragan Filipović points out that the majority did so.When it comes to elementary schools, 72 percent submitted the plan, and 33 percent of secondary schools in the city of Belgrade."I am thinking of all those schools that are in some mode of operation, with the exception of some high schools, when it comes to the city of Belgrade, which have not yet submitted a compensation plan, because they cannot yet organize themselves. Other schools, meaning all elementary schools that were suspended in any way, all secondary, professional and other high schools have submitted a compensation plan," says the head of the School Administration.He adds that up to 20 schools have completed the implementation of the compensation plan to date."We, as educational advisers, are obliged to look at the implementation of that plan and forward it to the finance sector, i.e. the material-financial adviser who will make the payment for the remainder, i.e. the part that was not paid with the first salary," explains Filipović.What is best for students?Schools have proposed several options for compensation of classes. Working Saturdays, shortened classes, with a larger number of classes, seven and eight, but also an extension of the school year.The head of school administration points out that they are trying to find out what is best for the children."We already have calls from parents that children come home tired. We have sent a letter to school principals and we hope that it has been forwarded to teachers as well. We are currently considering the specifics of each school, that is, each grade. We also have to think about students in the first, second, third to eighth grades, when we are talking about elementary school students. Of course, from the first to the fourth in those schools where classes have started when it comes to the secondary schools," Filipović points out.He especially emphasizes that children need a period of adaptation after the uninterrupted teaching. Pupils cannot suddenly start and have eight or nine lessons a day, which is too burdensome for them."The recommendation to teachers is to turn their teaching planning towards outcomes and what is really most important and essential by the end of the school year, and adapt all their plans, operational monthly and annual plans, to those outcomes," emphasizes Filipović.Taking entrance examsThe trial final exam is scheduled for April 25 for mathematics, while the test in Serbian, that is, the mother tongue, as well as the test in the subject of choice, will be scheduled in the period from April 22 to 30.Entrance exams for specialized departments, for student schools, for eighth graders are in May and nothing has changed in the calendar."As a school administration, we adhere to the educational work calendar of primary and secondary schools, which was adopted in September and amended in December. We are waiting for information from higher education institutions when they will be admitted, when they will be enrolled in faculties. Because at that moment, we can think about whether the school year can be extended for high school graduates," emphasized Filipović.
