The final conference of the Second Chance Project took place in the Palace Serbia on 12 September 2013. The objective of the Second Chance Project was to systematically develop and test functional elementary education of adults (FEEA) in Serbia, in the period between September 2010 and September 2013. On the basis of positive results, the Ministry of Education has introduced the programme of functional elementary education of adults into the regular education system in the school year 2013/2014.
The objective of the project is to raise the general level of literacy through elementary education adapted to the needs of adults and requirements of the labour market. In this way, poverty will be reduced; higher level of employment and faster socio-economic development of the country will be achieved.
National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia adopted the Law on Education of Adults which will be applicable from the year 2014. The key document – Strategy for the Development of Education in Serbia – promotes the concept of lifelong learning which allows everyone, under the same conditions, to acquire key competencies necessary for inclusion in the society.
The project has been implemented with the financial support from the European Union.
