First digital textbook for fifth grade presented
Belgrade,
1 March 2018
Prime Minister Ana Brnabic attended today at the "Drinka Pavlovic"elementary school a first experimental lesson at which the first Serbian digital textbook was presented and stated that the Serbian government has allocated €70 million for the introduction of digital textbooks.
At the promotion of digital teaching material at the biology lesson in the fifth grade, Brnabic pointed out that the Serbian government started bravely and rapidly with reforms in the education system, which is the most important task.
If we continue this way, then we have secured a different future for our children and the country, the Prime Minister underlined, and in that sense stated that information technology, software development and coding were introduced last year as compulsory subjects as of fifth grade.
We have connected primary schools to the academic network of Serbia, and we have to connect all of them on a high speed Internet, which is necessary for introducing digital textbooks into two thousand classrooms within the pilot project, she said.

Mladen Sarcevic and Ana Brnabic
We are most likely to work with the European Investment Bank, and there is a possibility to get significant support from the European Commission, the Prime Minister stated.
Brnabic expressed her satisfaction with the introduction of the electronic diary, which has already given results, as students are less absent from classes, and employees in schools spend three quarters of less time for administrative work.
The plan, as she recalled, was to introduce an electronic diary to 200 schools, but now it exists in 556 educational institutions.
Minister of Education, Science and Technological Development Mladen Sarcevic announced that a law on textbooks, which will prescribe the standard of digital textbooks, will enter the parliamentary procedure at the end of March.
