And welcome to a new episode of Unlock Your Serbian with Jelena and Nevena.Jelena (00:07) Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i danas razgovaramo o obrazovanju. Hoćemo da razgovaramo o tome kako izgleda školski sistem u Srbiji od osnovne škole ili čak možda od vrtića sve do fakulteta. That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about education. We want to talk about what the school system in Serbia looks like, from elementary school or even maybe from kindergarten all the way to university.Nevena (00:31) Ovo je jedna tema koja nama više nije bitna. Hvala Bogu. Mi više nismo u obrazovnom sistemu Srbije. Ali ovo je zaista interesantno zato što u svakoj zemlji za koju ja znam, obrazovanje izgleda drugačije, postoje neke nijanse, postoje neke varijacije itd. I to je razlog zašto želimo da razgovaramo o ovoj temi danas. I spomenula si da možemo da krenemo i od pre osnovne škole. Koji to sve stupnjevi postoje u obrazovanju koje nije obavezno? Dakle, pričaćemo o delovima školovanja koji nisu obavezni, a ništa pre osnovne škole nije obavezno. This is a topic that is no longer important to us. Thank God. We are no longer in the Serbian educational system. But this is truly interesting because in every country I know of, education looks different; there are some nuances, variations, etc. And that is the reason why we want to talk about this topic today. And you mentioned that we can start from before elementary school. What levels exist in education that is not mandatory? So, we will talk about the parts of schooling that are not compulsory, and nothing before elementary school is compulsory.Jelena (01:24) Tako je, ništa pre osnovne škole nije obavezno i ja se sećam kada sam bila mala i zapravo ne znam kako je moguće da se ovoga sećam, ali se sećam da sam tražila mojim roditeljima da idem u vrtić, dakle da me upišu u vrtić. Zato što nisam više htela da budem svaki dan kod baba i dede. That's right, nothing before elementary school is mandatory and I remember when I was little—and I actually don't know how it's possible that I remember this—but I remember asking my parents to go to kindergarten, so to enroll me in kindergarten. Because I didn't want to be at my grandparents' house every day anymore.Become a member on Patreon (patreon.com/UnlockYourSerbian) to continue reading the transcript!Send us your questions!
