As part of the project “Inclusive preschool education and Care” implemented by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development in partnership with the Novak Djokovic Foundation, another study room in the territory of the Bac municipality, Bodjani village, was adapted and equipped with a loan from the World Bank.

The municipality of BaC is multinational – Serbs, Croats, Slovaks, Hungarians, Romanians, Roma and others live in it. For years, the municipality has been allocating significant funds for regressing the costs of education and upbringing, as well as for social and child protection. About 300 families in Bac are beneficiaries of social assistance.

PU “Kolibri” tries to include all children both from Bac and from the surrounding villages. The administration of PU strives to make integrated social care for children of preschool age equally accessible and adapted to each child, without discrimination and segregation on any basis, as well as to provide limited support to families with small children.

The kindergarten in the Bodjani neighborhood is located within the separate departments of the “Aleksa Santic” elementary school, and as part of the Inclusive preschool education project, the Novak Djokovic Foundation and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development adapted and completely equipped one study room.

Renovation works included the replacement of floors, carpentry, lighting, painting, procurement and installation of air conditioners.

The new, equipped space will be able to accommodate 25 children. The facility has one study room (mixed group) and is equipped in accordance with the needs of the group and in accordance with the new basics of education.

In addition to furniture that has been selected and adapted to a mixed-age group, the room is equipped with new toys, carpets, lazy bags, easels for painting, books and necessary consumables.
