Savremena Gimnazija English teacher Milica Aleksić receives a prestigious Tempus Foundation recognition

Savremena Gimnazija English teacher Milica Aleksić’s interdisciplinary project Unveiling the Secrets of Advertising was recognised and awarded the European Language Label - ELL. The project encompassed the following subjects: English, psychology, arts and design. The ELL has been awarded by Tempus Foundation.

The European Language label symbolises recognition whose aim is to single out and awards innovative and creative initiatives in the area of language education. It serves as an incentive for presenting and disseminating the results of such initiatives as well as for promoting improvements of language skills in general public. It was established in Europe in 1999, and since 2014 it has become a part of the largest European educational programme – Erasmus+.

Savremena gimnazija fosters the best practises in modern education

This prestigious recognition has been received only by another 5 initiatives in Serbia, those which met high European criteria for innovation and effectiveness in education. Thus Savremena Gimnazija proves that it implements and fosters the best modern practises in education which are recognised and awarded by international institutions. The certificate itself is signed by the Minister of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia and the European Commissioner of Education, Culture, Youth and Sport.

We would like to remind our readers of teacher Milica Aleksić’s success at the beginning of the school year, when her project Drive Safely won the award on the Science on Stage Festival, qualifying for the presentation at the international event in Prague in March the following year.

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
