According to the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, a salary increase of eight percent will be received by the entire public sector and a 12 percent salary raise will be received by teachers and preschool educators.
Vučić said that this constitutes a real increase in the standard of living, not only for Serbian teachers, but also for preschool educators, if inflation is 4.2 percent, as their salaries will be increased by 12 percent, which is 50 percent more than for other public sector workers, thus showing the government’s commitment to education.
The president also said that negotiations with some foreign universities have already been initiated by the government to bring them to Serbia to reduce study costs for local students.
He emphasized on the possibility of bringing parts of those universities or their departments and building their campuses in Serbia instead of sending students to Italy, Switzerland or the United Kingdom. According to him, the goal of the state is to keep people here.
Vučić highlighted that the government will try to subsidize these parts or departments of foreign universities to make their costs lower than abroad, taking into account that their living expenses are already much lower. It will prevent the parents from the necessity of being separated from their children to provide them with a good education.
The President of Serbia stated that competition among Serbian private and public universities will also be encouraged by this. He highlighted that universities will have to provide much better education if they want to attract students. The students need knowledge, not just diplomas.
Excellent news for the country’s poorest workers and pensioners is Vučić’s proclamation of the decision to increase the minimum wage by 13.7 percent, to 53,592 dinars, and to raise pensions by 10.9 or 11 percent.
