NEW VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION OF CHILDREN IN SID MUNICIPALITY

The municipality of Sid, which was one of the 20 municipalities that approved funding for project in the first round of grant holders, received vehicles for the transport of children.

On Friday, February 28, Sanja Strbac Musmar, on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, delivered the wan keys to the deputy mayor of the municipality of Sid, Zoran Semenović in front of the Cultural Education centre.

The municipality of Sid is pleased with the fact that the project with which we applied to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development was passed and rated as extremely good. Today we have a result of the good work of the Office for Local economic development and preschools „Jelica Stanivukovic- Silja“. The value of the van is four million and six hundred thousand dinars. The van will primarily serve to ensure that children in rural areas transport safely so that they can actively participate in cultural and educational activities conducted by the preschool Jelica Stanivuković-Šilja.

By mobilizing different actors and achieving co-operation between sectors in local community, the municipality of Sid has developed a quality project proposal for which funding has been approved.

As a reminder at least 30 local government units have been allocated up to 40.000 eur per local government (depending on the number of project proposals) to finance project in cities and municipalities.

These project aim to enhance coordination and cooperation between relevant actors in providing holistic and high quality preschool education services to parents and children from birth to 6.5 years old on the local level, with focus on the most vulnerable social groups. Local project activities will include areas related to health, nutrition, early screening for development disabilities and early stimulation and learning, as well as other areas.
