Within the project “Inclusive preschool education” implemented by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development in partnership with the Novak Djokovic Foundation, from the loan of World Bank is adapted and equipped 3 more working rooms on the territory of the municipality, Vladicin Han.

The municipality of Vladicin Han is the small one from the South of Serbia, of which there are 51. town and this also shows the disunity population. On the other hand, it is nice that from year to year there is no decrease in population and this is one of the reasons why it is important to invest in the system of preschool education in the municipality

Right now, preschool institution Pcelica has 342 children who are staying the whole day or half-day. 42 children from the total number are part of Rom families, while 55 children are part of the social sensitive category. In this way, the municipality is trying to include all the children from the territory of Vladicin Han, but the capacities are limited. 56% of children on the territory of municipality Vladicin Han are not part of preschool education

For this reason, through the Project Inclusive preschool education, we have adapted and equipped 3 workrooms in the facility Carolija that hasn’t been used because of the bad condition that they have been in. It has been enrolled 75 new children and decreased the waiting lists

In the new working rooms in the facility, Carolija has been opened one new nursery and two mixed groups.

All the rooms have been equipped based on the need of children and tutors and within the need of the new educational methods

In addition to furniture that is selected and adapted to each age group, the facility is also equipped with new toys, carpets, lace bags, painting easels, books, and the necessary consumables.

Also, in all rooms, works were done to adapt the space in the form of smoothing, painting, planing parquet, as well as arranging the hallway in front of each working room.

In all three new groups on the territory of the municipality of Vladicin Han, about 75 new children of nursery age and mixed groups are enrolled, and the premises are equipped in accordance with the needs of our youngest residents.
