On May 20, the President of the Municipality of Ro\u017eaje, Ejup Nurkovi\u0107, received her Excellency Margaret Uyehara<\/strong>, the ambassador of the United States of America, Mr. Benjamin Perks, head of the UNICEF representative office for Montenegro, Jan Krasny, political and economic advisor at the US embassy, Marija Manojlovi\u0107, social policy advisor at UNICEF, Milena Labovi\u0107, political and economic advisor at the US Embassy, Arijana Nikoli\u0107 Vu\u010dini\u0107, Acting General Director of the Directorate for Preschool and Primary Education and Education and Education of Persons with Special Needs and Marija Jovovi\u0107, PR Manager. The meeting was attended by the President of the Assembly of Ro\u017eaje, Husein Kurtagi\u0107.<\/p>\n

The delegation was interested in the reasons why the rate of kindergarten students in Ro\u017eaje is the lowest in Montenegro, only 10%.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Nurkovi\u0107, the main reasons why parents do not send their children to kindergarten is the difficult financial situation of the families, so they are not able to pay the monthly expenses of the kindergarten, as well as the lack of sufficient number of kindergarten facilities. "The local administration of Ro\u017eaje is making every effort to improve the conditions for children's education, but due to financial difficulties, we are limited and we appeal to the Government of Montenegro, the relevant Ministry, foundations, embassies that have allocated funds for this purpose, and the NGO sector to get involved and help us in our efforts. We expect that next year the building for children with special needs will be completed on Ban\u017eovo brdo, and we believe that this will improve education and open up new opportunities for people with special needs, that we will help their adaptation in society, as well as make it easier for the parents of children with special needs needs to take care of children in a more convenient way. We have also done projects for kindergartens and cr\u00e8ches, now we need to find donors who would recognize the importance of the existence of a larger number of kindergartens, in order to enable children to attend kindergartens, as a relief for continuing education." said the President of the Municipality of Ro\u017eaje, Ejup Nurkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n

The US ambassador presented to the attendees the projects implemented so far in this field in Montenegro, which were helped by the US embassy, stressing that it is necessary to submit ready-made projects for donations, which can be financed and assisted after expert evaluation.<\/p>\n

After the discussion in the President's Cabinet, the delegation attended the session of the Assembly of Ro\u017eaje, where the head of the UNICEF representative office for Montenegro, Benjamin Perks, presented\u00a0Study on investment in early childhood education in Montenegro, <\/em>after which they also visited the "Bo\u0161ko Buha" kindergarten.<\/p>\n
