SARAJEVO, August 27 (FENA) - A new school year for about 130 Bosniak students from Konjević-Polje in Republika Srpska will begin on September 2 at the Education Center in Nova Kasaba.
This is the seventh year since the parents have been fighting that their children have the right to study a national group of subjects and to do their studies in the Bosnian language at their original school "Petar Kočić" in Konjević-Polje.
President of the Konjević-Polje Parents Council Muhizin Omerović told FENA that classes in Nova Kasaba begin at the same time as in the Sarajevo Canton because they are part of their educational system.
“The education system in RS is an exclusive one because our children do not exist in their curriculum,” he said.
Speaking about the 2014 lawsuit when the Parents' Council sued the RS Ministry of Education and Culture for denying students the right to study in the Bosnian language, but also to study other subjects pertaining to a national group of classes, Omerović said they wait for the judgment of the BiH Constitutional Court.
Parents of Bosniak students from Konjević-Polje, protesting against the ban and lack of possibility to exercise their rights from October 9, 2013 to February 1, 2014, stayed in a makeshift tent in front of the OHR building in Sarajevo demanding answers from the international community whether Bosniak children are entitled to a national group of subjects in their schools.
