BiH Education Directory Launched

Senior Deputy High Representative Gerhard Enver Schrömbgens today presented the first copy of the BiH Education Directory to the Principal of the Teachers’ School (Uciteljska skola) in Sarajevo, Muhamed Ganibegovic. Deputy Head of the OSCE Mission in BiH Ambassador Henry Zipper de Fabiani, and the Assistant of the Education Minister of the Federation BiH, Severin Montina, participated in this event.

The Directory lists every educational innovation currently being practised in BiH classrooms. It has been compiled in the course of more than a year of exhaustive consultations with schools and other learning institutions and is now being distributed to schools throughout the country. The Directory, which has been developed as part of the Education Awareness campaign, offers for the first time ever a global view of classroom practices in BiH.

The education directory is available on the OSCE website. The aim is to update the Directory regularly, through the web-page: http://www.oscebih.org/education/edirectory.asp
