Serbia has financed the creation of textbooks for schools in Ukrainian
The Serbian Ministry of Education has announced that it will finance the preparation of educational materials for migrant schoolchildren, including the translation and adaptation of materials into Ukrainian, according to the Serbian Economist Telegram channel.
"The language barrier remains one of the key challenges in integrating children into the education system. Minister of Education Dejan Vuk Stankovic noted that more than 5,500 migrant and asylum-seeking students have consistently passed through the Serbian education system.
According to him, the ministry continues to support schools where migrant children study: mentors and external consultants are involved, and teaching materials are translated into the students' native languages – currently Ukrainian and Arabic," the report says.
As part of this work, more than 4,000 educators, teachers, principals, and support specialists have undergone additional training, and more than 70 schools have received support through grants.
More than 3,000 individual support plans have been prepared and more than 10,000 additional classes have been conducted; support measures also included the distribution of books, textbooks, and school supplies.
The ministry noted that the work on translating materials and supporting schools is being carried out with the participation of international partners.
The amount of expenditure, as well as the circulation of textbooks printed or materials translated into Ukrainian, was not disclosed in the ministry's public statements.
