The Ministry of Education and Science has 720 educated assistants and, if necessary, additional staff will be hired, for which a request will be submitted to the Ministry of Finance, Minister of Education Jeton Shaqiri said today after awarding grants within the framework of the OSCE Project "Building New Bridges". ".

When asked by a journalist whether the Ministry of Education and Culture has enough educational assistants because, allegedly, there will be no enrollment of first-graders in the "Zlatan Sremets" school and children with typical and atypical development will study together, Shaqiri said that there is no information about the indicated school, and that currently through the electronic application is in progress for enrollment for students in primary schools, and will soon begin in secondary schools as well.

- In the previous year we had 500, and this year we have 720 educational assistants. I hope that in the coming period, according to the data we will receive from the resource centers, we will know what the new number will be - said Shaqiri.

Regarding whether there are new reports on the "Report Violence" website, he said that the last number was 20 reports, but that it is constantly changing. According to him, the professional staff from the schools in which violence was reported were called to the Ministry, information was collected and where the information from the report was confirmed, measures were taken, and if necessary, the institutions - centers for social affairs, the Ministry of the Interior or the teachers - were notified. and psychologists if they had not acted. Shaqiri adds that with the end of the school year, there are fewer reports, but he called on all schools, if they have such situations, to report them during the vacation as well. Of these reports, as he said, one or two cases are about failure to act by the professional staff in relation to cases of violence.

– We are checking that information. Sometimes we have anonymous reports for which the institutions submit a report where action has been taken, but there are also situations where after a call from the services to parents, the parents do not answer the calls. In all situations, however, the students are called. There are not many cases where the pedagogical services have not acted, there are one or two cases, but the most important thing is that all of us involved in this process should be responsible, and (in cases of violence between students) parents from both sides should be involved and not to blame the institutions - says Shaqiri.
