BRUS MUNICIPALITY – ADAPTED AND EQUIPPED 1 WORKING ROOM IN PRESCHOOL “PAHULJICA”

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 from a loan from the World Bank in the territory of the municipality of Brus another study room was adapted and equipped.

The specificity of the municipality of Brus is the great diversity and the great distance of families with small children from the rural area to the nearest educational groups, which makes it difficult to access PVO for each child. For this reason, preschool “Pahuljica” in Brus tries to include as many children as possible in school education.

By adapting and equipping one study room in Zlatari, the coverage of children aged 3 to 5,5 increased from 28,3% to 33,5% in the rural area, and at the same time the waiting list was reduced.

The coverage of children, especially from vulnerable groups, has increased: by mapping the place with the projection of the physical distance of families with children in rural areas, the village of Zlatari is the most favorable for increasing the coverage of children and creating conditions for their early development and attending the mandatory preparatory preschool program.

The local self-government provided funds for exterior and mechanical works, while the Novak Djokovic Foundation and the Ministry of education, science and technological development through the project “Inclusive preschool education” adapted and fully equipped the building.

The works involved the replacement of floors, walls, ceilings, joinery, lighting, as well as the installation of air conditioning. The new, adapted room (one mixed group) is fully adapted to the needs of children and educators and follows the new basics of the preschool education program.

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, an easel for painting, books and necessary consumables.

In the new group in the territory of the municipality of Brus, 17 new children aged from 3 to 5,5 years were enrolled and the room was adapted and equipped in accordance with the needs of our youngest residents.
