Welcoming Professor Dr Gideon Greif

On Thusday, 9 December, 2021, in the Fifth Belgrade Grammar school, our students Vid Vuković, Anastasija Kovačević and Pavle Vuković, together with the school counsellor Ivan Davidović and philosophy teacher Martica Đurić, attended the welcome reception of the world famous Holocaust historian, professor Dr Gideon Greif from Israel.

We accepted the invitation of the Pedagogical Society of Serbia, which organised the reception to welcome the professor. The event was organised through the collaboration with the Deputy Minister for the Higher education, professor Dr Tubić, the Institute for Improvement of Education, ambassador Dr Ljiljana Nikšić and the Fifth Belgrade Grammar school, acting as the host.

The work of professor Gideon Greif has been focused on extremely important topics and has been recognised for his exceptional commitment to defending the truth regarding the suffering of the Serbian people during the World War II.

The event was an interactive one, so the students had the opportunity to ask the professor questions and he gladly responded.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
