Bitola school officials accused of gambling in Monte Carlo casino during student trip

Jovanče Manaskov, chairman of the SDSM Commission for Education and Science, has raised allegations of a major scandal involving school officials in Bitola. According to Manaskov, during a student excursion to Monte Carlo, the director of the ‘Ѓорѓи Наумов’ Regional Center for Vocational Education and Training, Žaneta Serivni, and assistant director Ljupčo Zdravkovski, allegedly entered a casino to gamble on slot machines.

Manaskov claims that while the officials were gambling, the underage students they were responsible for were left waiting in the casino lobby. The SDSM official stated that video and photographic evidence exists of the incident. He has called on Minister Janevska and the VMRO-DPMNE administration to conduct an immediate investigation, oversee the matter, and dismiss all individuals involved, describing the incident as an immoral breach of educational responsibility.
