Silence Speaks Louder- How Serbian Students Are Fighting for Their Future

Weekly Topic: What is a current hot topic in your country?

professormina

In Serbia, a powerful movement is spreading, but it’s almost completely silent. University students and professors are standing together in peaceful, silent protests, demanding better education, fair pay for teachers, and more respect for knowledge.

Instead of loud demonstrations, they hold signs and gather quietly on campuses across the country. Their silence is their message: “We won’t stay quiet forever.”

Many teachers in Serbia are underpaid and overworked. Classrooms are overcrowded, and students often feel ignored. This protest isn’t just about money. It’s about dignity, opportunity, and the future of learning.

As a learner in Japan, this story might feel far away, but education challenges are global. It’s also a great topic to explore in English through discussion, writing, or even debate.

How would you express your thoughts on this topic in English?

If you’d like to practice speaking about current events, education, or expressing opinions with confidence and clarity, I’d be happy to help.

Feel free to book a class and let’s build your voice, quiet or loud, together.
