Vučić government seeks to stop unrest over Novi Sad canopy collapse spreading to secondary education sector
Schools across Serbia will close for the winter holidays a week earlier than planned this year, as the government of the nationalist president, Aleksandar Vučić, seeks to stop anti-corruption protests that have gripped the country’s universities from spreading to the secondary education sector.
Serbia’s education minister, Slavica Đukić Dejanović, announced on Friday that primary and secondary schools across the country would close from Tuesday 24 rather than Monday 30 December, citing concerns over the safety and quality of children’s education amid the “stop, Serbia” protests.
