Abstract

The reform of education has foreseen and started supporting school autonomy. One part of the Project for promoting education in the Republic of Serbia includes the Fund for School Development that is to promote school development planning as a possibility of creating one’s own development. The said Project, which has to promote teaching and learning, and enable local community to assume responsibility for schools, makes school autonomy attainable. Serbian Government and the Ministry of Education and Sports have founded the Fund for School Development and it supports ideas suggested by schools themselves. The Team for School Development has been formed within the Ministry and it provides training for schools in this process. A pilot phase of the project was accomplished throughout 2002. Of the 40 schools participating in the pilot phase, 39 handed in their development plans and projects, while 38 received financial aid for accomplishing the plans. The major stage of the Project started in October 2002 and it will have been completed by 2005, comprising 900 Serbian schools. Financial resources will be allotted to 75% of primary and 50% of high schools. The expected outcomes of the Project will be: school trained for creating development plans, parents and school boards enabled to contribute to upgraded work of school, better-trained teachers, better-equipped school, teachers and students happier with life in school.
