Inclusive Early Childhood Education and Care Project: We Kept Our Promise Made Last Year

Within the Project of Inclusive Early Childhood Education and Care Project, which is being implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, and financed by a World Bank loan, 131 study rooms have been opened in 30 municipalities, i.e., 3,136 places in preschools throughout Serbia.

When the Novak Djokovic Foundation signed a  partnership agreement with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development on the Inclusive Early Childhood Education and Care Project in May last year, it was announced that at least 120 study rooms for children across Serbia would be opened by the end of 2022. Seventeen months later, together we have exceeded our official goal, which is why we will continue to implement the project with even more enthusiasm. We look forward to new smiles on the faces of children who will be included in early development programs via this project.
