8.7. Conclusion We shall consider above results primarily in relation to MDG 2, which refers to universal completion of primary education for all children in Serbia by 2015. This objective is to be achieved through a number of tasks. 1. Increased participation of children in primary education. Data from LSMS 2002 and 2007 indicate that participation of children in preschool education is growing, especially in the age of 6-7 years, as a result of introducing the compulsory PPP. However, the scope is still low, especially in relation to children from poor families. The scope of including children and the rate of completing primary school are high and relatively constant during the analyzed five-year period. However, the gap between children from rich and poor families, in terms of their participation in primary education, has widened during the past five years. Children who do not attend school are mostly from poor families, families whose household head has low education and families from rural areas, and from Roma households 2. Training for professions, promotion of lifelong learning concept and availability of higher education. The percentage of young people attending secondary and higher education has increased during the past five years. However, one fifth of children are still not included in secondary education, especially boys and young people from socially and culturally deprived areas. The imbalance in sexual distribution of young people at higher education institutions has increased (more female students). In terms of various social and economic indicators, differences in participation in higher education are still evident. This is reflected in lower participation of young people from the poorest families and young people from the least educated families. Young people are increasingly participating in various programs of informal education, but those diplomas are still not appropriately acknowledged in the labour market. It is necessary to have better vertical and horizontal mobility in education and shorter response time of formal and informal education to demands of labour market, which is envisioned in the Strategy of developing vocational education 3. Improved quality of education Data from LSMS are only sufficient for an indirect conclusion about the quality of education. The percentage of children who attend private classes or other additional programs of education has doubled over the past five years, but it is still most represented among young people from rich families or families whose household head has at least four-year secondary education. In terms of quality of education, the issue that comes to mind is whether this increase in spending for additional classes and programs is due to a desire to stimulate potentials of children or they fail to achieve desired outcomes during regular schooling 4. Setting-up additional databases for monitoring and evaluation of progress toward national objective and task. Statistics on various education indicators is still incomplete, especially data referring to attrition of children from the educational system and participation in the educational system of young people from vulnerable groups. LSMS is a step forward in establishing better databases. Data obtained from LSMS shows that the population has decreased, while the educational structure has improved during the past ten years. Yet, the right to quality education is still not available to all children. Gaps between children from different social and economic backgrounds are widened during education, instead of narrowed. This is a reflection of the inability of existing educational system to perform its compensatory role. Target groups who need greatest attention in terms of education are young people from poor families, families with lower educational levels, from rural areas, and Roma. The state should invest more in education (development of human resources) in order to develop an open, effective, efficient and just system of formal and informal education accessible to all young people. 112 Living Standards Measurements Study - Serbia 2002 - 2007
