The Minister of Science and Education, Blaženka Divjak, held working meetings with all telecommunications operators operating in Croatia (VIP, T-com, and Tele 2) to enable free high-speed internet for all students, teachers, and schools participating in the experimental phase of the curriculum reform, which will be implemented under the name “School for Life” starting this fall, Hina learns from the Ministry of Science and Education.

“All three telecom operators have shown interest in participating in the project and are ready to support the experimental program ‘School for Life’. The goal of the project is to lighten bags and transfer part of the teaching materials exclusively to electronic form. We are discussing with telecom operators a model to make educational materials freely available to students at school and at home,” sources from the Ministry emphasize.

With all interested stakeholders, they add, a joint approach to responsible, appropriate, and safe internet use is being agreed upon, which will also include forms of education for parents. The idea is that every school, teacher, and student has equal opportunities, regardless of the part of Croatia they come from.
