The most state-of-the-art educational institution in this part of the world was presented at the most important educational event in the world, the World Education Summit, as “an amazing and one-of-a-kind school that takes huge steps to improve education in a bold and passionate way”.

This is how Primary School Savremena was described at the World Education Summit, the biggest educational event of the year, held from 22 to 25 March.

This year’s conference welcomed over 200 most important people in the field of education, award-winning authors of science best sellers, and leading teaching experts from the largest world universities, such as Cambridge, University of Virginia, University of Melbourne, University of London, and many others. They covered a variety of topics related to contemporary education on eight stages.

The fact that the prestigious Forbes Magazine declared the World Education Summit the main educational event of the year speaks volumes about the value of the recognition awarded to Primary School Savremena.

SAVREMENA IN THE COOL SCHOOLS PROGRAMME AS AN EXAMPLE OF GOOD PRACTICE

This is great news for education in Serbia and invaluable international recognition for Primary School Savremena. Together with Savremena Gimnazija (as part of LINKgroup schools), and few other selected schools from around the world, Primary School Savremena has become the only educational institution from the region that was presented at the summit as a Cool School – an example of good teaching practice.

Thanks to them, Serbia is becoming visible on the world map of education, because this recognition proves beyond any doubt that there are schools in our country that belong to the world’s educational elite.

According to the analysis of the World Economic Forum, a staggering 65% of children who enrol in primary school this year will have jobs that don’t yet exist; in other words, they will live in a future we cannot even imagine. Therefore, the main goal of Primary School Savremena and Savremena Gimnazija is to equip their students with knowledge and skills necessary for academic, professional and emotional success in the future. And to do that, they bravely broke up with the old educational paradigm established in the age of the steam engine, and created a “truly different” approach, which qualified them for the participation at the World Education Summit as Cool Schools.

THE “COOL” APPROACH TO EDUCATION INVOLVES AN ADVENTURE OF LEARNING AND COMPANIONSHIP

Primary School Savremena is an innovative educational institution where the teaching material is not adopted in a passive manner, but through creative problem solving that involves breaking the traditional matrices that largely deprive children of research potential and discourage their innovativeness. One of the priorities of teaching is to help children master modern technologies, speak several languages fluently and confidently and prepare them for the future ahead.

This is why Savremena’s students are actually participants in a great adventure of learning, growing-up, and companionship. Moreover, by relying on the best academic paradigms and combining them with modern achievements of neuroscience and educational technology, Savremena encourages the development of student potential.

THE FUTURE-READY SCHOOL IS NOW A PROVEN LEADER IN SERBIAN EDUCATION

Primary School Savremena is already recognisable in the country and beyond, and from now on, in the whole world. Recognition at the World Education Summit is the result of many years of dedicated educational work for which Primary School Savremena is well-known, and which includes developing academic knowledge, digital competencies and transversal skills, and creative applications of modern technologies.

The World Education Summit has recognised Primary School Savremena as an educational institution where students grow up into happy, curious and independent young people ready for lifelong learning and professional development. The future-ready concept allows them to receive a holistic education that encourages a wholesome and balanced development.

Students attend interdisciplinary and project-based lessons in modern classrooms modelled after Google offices, where they practice social-emotional learning.

HIGH EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS AND A TRULY DIFFERENT APPROACH

The World Education Summit recognition proves that Primary School Savremena sets new educational standards, preparing students for life and work in the 21st century.

The great success did not come by chance, given that Savremena is part of the LINKgroup Edu Alliance, an international educational alliance that has been working on the improvement of education for 25 years, and comprises secondary schools, vocational colleges, faculties, institutes and professional academies, in addition to Primary School Savremena and Savremena Gimnazija.

The LINK Alliance is well-known in this part of Europe, and as of recently, in the USA, as a leader in modern education whose constituent institutions meet the highest teaching standards by putting emphasis on holistic child development, continuous evaluation and improvement of the teaching process, creative interdisciplinary lessons, innovative distance learning platform, workshops harmonised with the Cambridge approach, and the smart use of technology for educational purposes.
