Zagotovo nam dve leti skupnega pedagoškega dela še ne dopuščata, da bi lahko govorili o tradiciji združene šole, kljub vsemu pa je bilo minulo leto dobro leto z vsem, kar mu pripada: s kvalitetnim delom v razredih, medpredmetnim povezovanjem, timskim delom, uspehi dijakov na tekmovanjih, sodelovanjem v projektih, delovno prakso v tujini, šolskimi prireditvami, organizacijo državnega tekmovanja, organizacijo delavnic za osnovnošolce, predstavitvami šole in še s celo vrsto drugih aktivnosti. Včasih je bilo morda vsega celo malo preveč. Preveč zaradi razpršenosti naših učiteljev po srednjih in osnovnih šolah v bližnji in širši okolici Celja. Kljub vsem dodatnim aktivnostim pa so nam bili in nam vedno bodo glavna skrb dijaki in njihov uspeh. Pri delu z dijaki je bilo veliko zadovoljstva in veselja, veliko dogovarjanja in tudi pregovarjanja, pridobivanja in borbe za ocene. Bil je smeh, bilo je tudi razočaranje, tu in tam sta se pojavili tudi jeza in nezadovoljstvo, a vedno smo se trudili poiskati skupno pot in dobro rešitev. In na koncu lahko z zadovoljstvom zapišem: »Bili smo uspešni.« V življenju vsakega človeka in v razvoju šole se pojavljajo vzponi in padci. Vsi smo veseli in zadovoljni, ko se šola razvija in raste. -

All rights reserved. Printed in the United States of America. Library of Congress Catalogue Number: 96-75960 ISBN: 1-56432-165-7 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report is based on a trip to the Republic of Ingushetiya, hereafter Ingushetiya, and the Republic of North Ossetia- Alaniya, hereafter North Ossetia, both states of the Russian Federation, from August 11-19, 1994. Until 1994, North Ossetia was the North Ossetian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (ASSR), a part of the former Soviet Union. Until 1992, Ingushetiya was part of the Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (ASSR), and was also part of the former Soviet Union. Human Rights/Helsinki representatives visited Vladikavkaz, Kartsa, Chermen, Tarskoye, Kurtat, Dachnoye, and Maiskii in North Ossetia and Nazran and Gaziyurt in Ingushetiya. Jeri Laber and Rachel Denber edited the report, and Shira Robinson provided production assistance for its publication. Human Rights Watch/Helsinki thanks both North Ossetian and Ingush authorities as well as officials from the Russian Temporary Administration (now the Temporary State Committee) for their cooperation with the mission participants. Human Rights Watch/Helsinki would like to express our appreciation to all those who read the report and commented on it, including Prof. John Collarusso of McMaster University. We would also like to thank the members of the Russian human rights group Memorial, who provided generous assistance and advice. In 1994 Memorial published an excellent report on the conflict in the Prigorodnyi region, "Two Years after the War: The Problem of the Forcibly Displaced in the Area of the Ossetian-Ingush Conflict." Finally, we would like to thank the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Henry Jackson Fund, the Merck Fund and the Moriah Fund for their support. -
