At the sitting held on 30 November, the Education Committee members considered the problems concerning the enrolment of students (on the budget and self-financing).

Since the sitting lacked a decision-making quorum, the Committee members present agreed to consider the issues related to the student enrolment, and to hold a Committee sitting with the same agenda on Tuesday, 7 November 2010.

In a short discussion on the subject, Committee Chairman Zoran Sami stated that the occurrences related to the student enrolment should obviously not be viewed unilaterally. He informed the Committee members that the Committee had requested information on the problem from the Belgrade and Novi Sad Rectories, as well as the Ministry of Education. He added that the current events are the result of faulty regulations, reminding the Committee that after the Law on Higher Education was passed he proposed its amendment and that during the debates on the amendment to the Law he proposed an amendment that would specify the rules for the students’ enrolment in the next year of studies (formation of a single list ranking all the students of a faculty according to their points and grade point average). He also criticised the Ministry of Education for rejecting the amendment and declared that various irregularities noted in practice have triggered reactions from the students, and it would be good to have well-regulated rules of the game at the University so as to prevent possible manipulations.

The sitting was chaired by Committee Chairman Dr Zoran Sami.
