Digitalisation in Serbian schools: Only one computer and poor wi-fi internet

Officials in Serbia are boasting about digitalisation, while practice, on the other hand, seems completely

different. It is different to the extent that teachers bring their own laptops to schools, but still they cannot do anything about poor wi-fi internet.

An electronic classroom logbook was introduced in 831 out of 3,578 primary and secondary schools in Serbia, and parents are not yet able to have electronic access to the grades and attendance records of their children, the Vecernje novosti daily reports.

The Ministry of Education says that, by the end of the year, training sessions will be held in all the

schools, and, according to the Novosti daily, the impressions about the functioning of this novelty in schools in

which it was introduced are different, and some schools claim that problems are only piling up.

One of the teachers in an elementary school in Belgrade says that the logbook is simple to use, but that it currently does not facilitate work.

However, the Ministry emphasizes that the electronic logbook works well in all the schools in which it was introduced and that the system is continuously upgraded.
