UNSA Rector received PMF graduates who are fighting for their right to work

“The University of Sarajevo fully supports the efforts by our former students, graduated biologists, in achieving their fundamental human right to work that is endangered by the careless behavior of the Cantonal Ministry of Education, Science and Youth“ said Prof. Dr. Rifat Škrijelj, UNSA Rector after meeting a delegation of graduates from the UNSA Faculty of Natural Science and Mathematics.

A delegation of former students, graduated biologists, presented to Rector a problem that arose after the Cantonal Ministry of Education, Science and Youth established a curriculum and elementary school program in the part referring to the subject of “Biology”, from which the profile and professional competency level of  “graduated biologist” has been omitted, whereby the holders of this diploma are prevented from submitting applications to current competitions and virtually prevented from continuing their teaching engagement in elementary schools in the subject “Biology.”

Although, in this case all likelihoods are pointing at the commonest clerical mistake, the attitude of the Sarajevo Canton Ministry of Education, Science and Youth is that amendments to the aforementioned curriculum are not to be done during the school year. In conversation with the delegation, Rector Škrijelj emphasized that he fully respects the attitudes of the inured graduates, and encouraged them in an effort to find the solution to the problem in intensive communication with the competent Ministry. “I am sure that there is an appropriate legal mechanism that can remedy this obvious mistake, which does not have to wait for the new school year” emphasized Rector, Škrijelj during conversations with former students.
