Sarajevo Canton educational and youth policy

Overview

The Sarajevo Canton Government has introduced various educational and youth support reforms. These measures include improving preschool accessibility through a co-financing program for kindergarten stays, providing free textbooks, and investing in school infrastructure. For older students, the administration implemented free public transportation and established a Mobility Fund for international education and internships, alongside grants for entrepreneurs under age 35.

However, the government has faced criticism regarding its funding priorities. Aida Hrnjić, president of the Colibri Association, accused the administration of failing to fund a planned summer camp for children and individuals with developmental disabilities. Hrnjić alleged that the government neglected its obligations to vulnerable populations while prioritizing social events and collecting vacation allowances.
