Diversity – Inclusion issues
Children come from different cultural and ethnic diversities. The diversity of the pupils is composed of: Albanian, Bosnian, Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians. Another issue is economic challenges of families.
Level of inclusive practices/experience
In the work plan of the school it is foreseen to include the inclusiveness in the learning process resulting from the composition and the diversity that exists in the school, by including necessary practices.
The school provides special parallel classes for Bosnian pupils in Bosnian language, the involvement of Roma Ashkali Egyptian (RAE) community in Albanian classes and accommodation of disabled pupils in the classroom. In the pedagogical staff of the school there are some ethnic Bosnians teachers. These practices have so far shown to be very effective in long-term plan of increasing the learning capacities and teaching.
