A Word from the Founder
"The Serbian Teacher Award was launched to highlight the exceptionality of the teaching profession and the importance of education when facing the major challenges faced by this branch, from the complete marginalization of teachers, over the growing violence in schools, to the need for a total paradigm shift in Serbian education. I invite employees in preschool, elementary, and high school education, both formal and informal, to apply for this year's competition.I invite employees in preschool, elementary, and high school education, both formal and informal, to apply for this year's competition.
Educational policy makers must never forget that education is not and must not be seen as an expense, but only as an investment."
