Vacancy
Background | ||
This vacancy is open only for the applicants with the citizenship of or permanent residence in the Republic of Serbia. The process of distance learning in languages of national minorities in the course of COVID-19 pandemic during March – May 2020 showed the limited availability of online classes for mandatory school subject ‘Serbian as Non-mother Tongue’ (SaNMT). Fluency in Serbian is essential for integration of Serbia’s diverse societies. Considering that the distant learning will most likely be, to a certain extent, a mode of work for schools as of September 2020, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development (MoE) the OSCE Mission to Serbia will support the recording and production of classes for SaNMT so that this subject is not neglected in the challenging circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 crisis. In partnership with the MoE, in co-operation with schools and in close consultations with relevant National Councils of National Minorities (NMCs) and the Institute for the Improvement of Education (IIE), the Mission will support the development of operational plans for online classes of SaNMT, as well as the recording and production of classes for both levels (A – basic and B – advanced) of the recent curriculum, for three educational cycles (covering primary and secondary education). The produced material will be used in teaching of the school subject starting from September, for the entire school semester. The recorded classes for each grade and for both A and B levels will be available online (on the web sites of eight NMCs, IIE, schools and on social networks of the eight NMCs) and will represent a tool that could be re-used in teaching the subject also in following school years, in case of prolonged distance learning, depending on pandemic related situation. To this end, the Mission requires the services of three consultants who will co-ordinate and monitor the recording of lessons, liaise with schools where classes will be recorded, as well as with teachers who will deliver the classes and selected media production company – thus enabling smooth and efficient implementation of envisaged activities and securing good quality of recorded classes |
