Serbian Assistant Minister of Education and Sport Vesna Fila presented today exercise books in Braille for preparing for secondary school entrance exams. This is the first time in the history of education in Serbia that exercise books have been printed in Braille.
The manager of this project, which was realised in cooperation with the publishing house “Prosvetni Pregled”, Tihomir Nikolic explained that the books were designed electronically and printed using special software called Win-Braille.
Nikolic said that the Serbian language exercise books have already been printed in Braille, while it is expected that the exercise books for mathematics will be printed within a month.
Nikolic said that compact discs containing audio material from exercise books will also be available to schools for the blind and visually impaired, and associations of the blind in Serbia and Vojvodina.

She said that 39.928 employees in the education sector in Serbia attended seminars on expert training during 2006.
