Serbian Education Union Calls for Day of School Closures in Solidarity with Professor
The Union of Education in Serbia announces a one-day suspension of classes following an attack on Professor Natalija Jovanović.
The Union of Education in Serbia has called for a one-day suspension of classes in support of Natalija Jovanović, a professor who was reportedly attacked in Niš.
According to a statement from the union, the attack was fueled by rhetoric from media outlets that have targeted students and educators over the past months, inciting violence and hostility towards them.
The union strongly condemned any form of violence, expressing solidarity with Jovanović and commending her dedication and efforts towards creating a better society.
The representatives highlighted that educational professionals, from the primary school level to university professors, are acting in the best interest of children during this challenging time.
They stated that educators are resisting humiliation and hopelessness, representing a vital segment of society that has been systematically marginalized and now faces existential and physical threats.
The union emphasized that it is a moment of duty to resist such a system.
They are calling upon all educators, even those not currently participating in the protest, to join in the temporary suspension of classes on March 31, in solidarity with their colleague.
The statement mentioned that threats and attempts to undermine the educators' existence have not yet produced the desired results, leading to an escalation in media attacks against them.
The call for the one-day halt in classes is described as a means of promoting communal health, asserting that 'society is only as strong as its weakest link.'
