National Reforms in School Education Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) 2021 More than 50 teachers and school staff of pilot schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina attended the virtual Round Table on Competences for Democratic Culture and Comprehensive Access to School organized on February 25, 2021 within the joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe "Quality Education for All" . 2020 Shortly after school closed, all education authorities in primary and secondary schools began to apply online and distance learning modalities, and all students completed the school year online in June / July 2020. When applying online learning, education authorities and schools have opted for various software / communication tools. Some units have developed and used web platforms, such as e-Teaching in Republika Srpska, e-Schools in Herzegovina-Neretva Canton and schools.sum in West Herzegovina Canton, Posavina Canton and Canton 10. The Una-Sana Canton Education Authorities have piloted their own newly developed platform in a smaller number of schools. Seven education authorities combined online classes with TV classes, which were mainly organized for children in the lower grades of primary school (ISCED 1). Children in the upper grades of primary school (ISCED 2) and in grammar schools (ISCED 3) were able to watch TV lessons in some administrative units. Classes for primary and secondary school students in BiH began in accordance with the law, ie the school calendar, with the possibility of further revision in accordance with the epidemiological situation. The teaching process in Sarajevo Canton, Tuzla Canton and Bosnian Podrinje Canton Goražde began on September 1, and in other cantons on September 7, except for Zenica-Doboj Canton, where classes for primary and secondary school students began on Tuesday, September 8. In this canton, a combined model (return to school a certain number of days and online classes) is applied for all primary and secondary school students. The decision to return all students to school was decided by the West Herzegovina, Herzegovina- Neretva, Bosnia-Podrinje Canton of Goražde and Canton 10, and all others for the combined model, which implies that students return to school and all others continue. realization of teaching in online format. The lesson will last mostly 30 minutes in small groups not exceeding 15 students. The RS government has decided that classes in primary and secondary schools in Republika Srpska will begin on September 1st. The lesson lasts 30 minutes in primary school and 20 minutes in secondary school. Each class with more than 15 students will be divided into two groups so that teachers will hold classes first for one group, then for another group of students. In the RS and the cantons in the Federation of BiH, students with chronic diseases and students who have people from risk groups in their households are not obliged to attend regular school classes, and online classes will be provided for them. The school year in primary and secondary schools in the Brcko District began on time, on Monday, September 7. Elementary and high school students return to school, and the duration of the school lesson is 45 minutes. Upon the initial meeting and exchange of experience on inclusion in education between the Agency for Pre-Primary, Primary and Secondary Education and representatives of CIDREE (Consortium of Institutions for Development and Research in Education in Europe) pursued were activities on developing the Guidelines for Inclusive Education. 2019 The Agency for Pre-primary, Primary and Secondary Education of BiH has presented the PISA 2018 survey results and recommendations for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Student achievements in our country are far below OECD international average and rank low in a regional context. Respondents from BiH showed very low levels in reading, mathematics and science literacy. The difference between our average achievement and OECD average is estimated as 3 years of schooling, which, metaphorically speaking means the BiH fifteen-year-olds were at the level of 12-year-olds of OECD average at the time they took the test. The minimum level of achievement is not reached by 58% students in mathematics, 54% in reading and 57% in science, and, at the same time, less than 1% of our examinees achieved maximum results. The international survey TIMSS 2019 was administered in period 21.05. – 13.06. 2019. in primary schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The survey included 178 primary schools, 336 classes and more than 6,000 fourth-grade pupils. Upon the TIMSS 2019 main survey administration, completed was the process of scoring the TIMSS 2019 constructed response items. DID YOU FIND WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR?

  • Health Care Systems in Bih Financing Challenges and Reform Options?
    ANALYSIS Sarajevo Health Care Systems in BiH Financing challenges and reform options? Marko Martić and ognjen Đukić, SarajeVo October 2017 High expectations and increasing needs of citizens have influenced a relatively high share of private expenditure in total health expenditure (28% in 2014) which is double the EU average (14%). In 2014, the private household health care spending of a family with three members averaged 50 KM monthly, which may pose a serious burden for the families living below or near poverty line. It indicates a certain degree of inequality in access to health care services among the citizens of BiH. There is a high level of inequality of public expenditure in health sector among the cantons by insured person in FBiH (from 453 KM to 875 KM), given that revenues from the employees’ contributions “return” to the canton they were collected in It can be said that the principle of solidarity does not extend beyond the cantonal level in this way. In order to achieve a higher level of equality in the public resources for health sector among the cantons, it is necessary for the cantons or the Government of FBiH to find other resources to make it possible. High dependence of this system on the contributions from the employed is not an optimal solution for BiH taking into account a low employment rate and population aging process. Among the EU countries applying mainly the Bismarck’s model, a trend of movement towards the so-called “mixed model” can be noticed – model involving greater participation of other sources of financing, in addition to the wage-based con- tributions.

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina: Attitudes on Violent Extremism and Foreign Influence
    Bosnia and Herzegovina: Attitudes on Violent Extremism and Foreign Influence January 4 - February 3, 2017 Detailed Methodology • The survey was conducted by Ipsos in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) on behalf of the International Republican Institute’s Center for Insights and Survey Research, and was funded by the National Endowment for Democracy. • Data was collected between January 4 and February 3, 2017 through face-to-face interviews at the respondents’ homes using the CAPI method (computer assisted personal interviewing). • A total of 1,537 interviews were completed, with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent at the midrange of the 95 percent confidence level. A nationally-representative sample was assembled based on a multistage stratification proportionate to population sample distribution, through the random selection of households and respondents. • The sample is composed of citizens of BiH, aged 18 and older and was based on the 2013 Census; Vital Statistics 2012 and Ipsos estimations derived from the Central Election Commission database; Agency for Identification Documents; and the Registers and Data Exchange of Bosnia and Herzegovina database. • The sampling frame consisted of polling station territories (approximate size of census units) within strata defined by municipalities and type of settlements (urban and rural). Polling station territories enable the most reliable sample selection, due to the fact that these units represent the most comprehensive and up-to-date data available. • Households were selected according to the random route technique. Starting from a given address, interviewers selected the third house down the same side of the street or the next available house for an interview from the starting point.

  • Chemistry Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    c e p s Journal | Vol.10 | No1 | Year 2020 83 doi: 10.26529/cepsj.715 Chemistry Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina Meliha Zejnilagić-Hajrić*1 and Ines Nuić2 • In this paper, the education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina is pre- sented in the light of current state-level legislation, with an emphasis on chemistry education at the primary, secondary and tertiary level. The consequences of the last war in our country still persist and are visible in many aspects of everyday life, including the education system, thus lim- iting the efforts of education professionals to follow international trends in education. There are three valid curricula for primary education at the national level, each of which differs in the national group of school subjects. Teaching methods are common for all three curricula and are mainly teacher-oriented. The situation is similar with regard to second- ary education. Study programmes at the university level are organised in accordance with the Bologna principles. The programmes are made by the universities themselves and approved by the corresponding ministry of education. Chemical education research in Bosnia and Herzegovina is mainly conducted at the University of Sarajevo. It deals with (1) the problems of experimental work in chemistry teaching, resulting in more than 60 experiments optimised for primary and secondary school, (2) integrating the knowledge of chemistry, physics and physical chemis- try for university students, with regard to students’ difficulties observed during university courses and potential solutions, and (3) the effective- ness of web-based learning material in primary school chemistry for the integration of macroscopic and submicroscopic levels.
