Why Partner with a Serbian School?
There are many reasons why teachers might
choose Serbia for an ideal international partnership, here are just
a few.
There is a strong emphasis in Serbian education on
languages. Serbian children start learning a foreign language
from 1st grade (usually English), and from 5th grade it is
compulsory to learn a second foreign language.
- There is a great interest from Serbian students in other
cultures and they are keen to learn a lot about people around the
world. This, coupled with an awareness of citizenship and
conflict resolution issues, makes these students enthusiastic and
knowledgeable participants in any partnership.
- While Serbia is a part of Europe, because of its geographic
position as an important base on the trade routes, it also has
strong historical connections with Africa, which, results in an
interest in a wider global outlook.
