Two groups of my pupils took part in this year's preliminary round of the Contest organised on 10 March in Đura Jakšić Primary School.
Most pupils found the tests easy, especially the reading part, though some felt the use of English was too challenging.
This year, the application process and the Contest were organised under unusual circumstances, with fewer pupils participating than before. A lot of schools in our country, including ours, have suspended classes since 20 January due to widespread protests and teacher strikes. A few of my pupils who felt prepared, followed my advice and applied individually.
