Ljiljana and Blagoje are pupils of this school and undoubtedly the oldest first graders in Serbia.

They started school now, because, as they say, before there was no one to pay for their education, because their parents were in a very bad economic situation.

Blagoje says that he is very happy that this option exists and that he will finally be able to make his dream come true: becoming a hairdresser.

– I started going to school, I don’t know anything and I want to learn. My parents were very poor and couldn’t afford my education. Everyone is joking, but I don’t care, I want to go – says Blagoje laughing and continues:

– My biggest wish is to become a hairdresser and finally be my own man. I’m great at school, we learn from everything, I’m doing well. Finally, be my own man – concludes Blagoje.

Ljiljana, mother and grandmother, has a market stall, says she was eager to go to school.

– What bothered me the most was that I couldn’t sign. I waited in lines for a long time, and then the fingerprint machine doesn’t work … without school you can’t do anything, nothing at all. My parents were poor and they didn’t even send me to school. After I got married and took care of the children, I didn’t have time. I can’t wait to start school from September. The teachers are good to everyone. The market stall sometimes works well, sometimes bad, what to do. When it doesn’t work, I’ll have more time to study, says Ljiljana.

THE CLASSES ADAPT TO THEM

Classes for seniors who have not finished school are flexible in nature. They have been provided with textbooks, and for the unemployed, travel expenses so they are not in the red, she writes “Telegraf.”

– They are not problematic people, they simply did not have the conditions in their youth. The curriculum for them is quite personalized. The schedule is flexible, mostly evening classes. Every effort is made to help them finish as soon as possible. The school lasts for three years. They bring us a certificate of the last completed class and based on that we create a plan and program for them – says Miloš Komlenac from the Andragogy Center.
