Together we build our education

Our mission is for every child to have access to the knowledge, opportunity, and support they deserve.

Vision of the Foundation

Setting the goal for all high school students in Bosnia and Herzegovina to achieve functional literacy by 2040 is an ambitious plan
with a key focus on education as the foundation of societal development. This goal not only promotes individual success for students,
but also enhances the overall competitiveness of the country on an international level. Developing functional literacy involves creating a generation
of young people who are capable of applying their knowledge in real life, solving complex problems, and contributing to innovations in society. Indicators to monitor progress towards achieving this goal include:

Availability of Excellent Kindergartens

Tracking the number and distribution of high-quality kindergartens across the country to ensure that every child, regardless of location, has access to top-notch early childhood education.

Participation of children in preschool education

Monitoring the percentage of children who actively participate in preschool education programs up to the age of six, with a special emphasis on inclusivity and ensuring equal opportunities for all.

Top quality of the program

Monitoring quality standards in preschool institutions, including not only educational methods and the expertise of educators but also the infrastructural conditions that support the holistic development of children in line with the best global practices.

Social Inclusion

Tracking progress in achieving inclusive approaches to preschool education, ensuring that children, teachers, parents, and society as a whole are fully integrated into the educational environment.

Collaboration with Parents

Development of programs and practices that encourage collaboration between kindergartens, parents, and the local community, ensuring continuous support for parents in the education and development of their children.

PISA tests

Tracking student results on the PISA tests aims to gain an objective insight into their abilities in reading, mathematics, and science, and monitoring Bosnia and Herzegovina's position on the global education ranking, which includes criteria such as teaching quality, access to education, and student outcomes, providing a comprehensive overview of the educational system's success.

Student success in further education

Tracking the percentage of students who successfully complete secondary education and either continue their education or gain successful employment in relevant sectors.

Innovations in Teaching

Updating and monitoring the development of innovative teaching methods, introducing new technologies, and adapting the curriculum to make all of the above possible. This goal is set with the intention of creating an educated society that will support the economic and social development of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Who is behind the vision?

The vision of a functionally literate society is not the result of an individual – but of a dedicated team of people, teachers, institutions, and partners who believe that knowledge is the right of every child. Meet those who work daily to achieve this mission.

“My personal commitment is to ensure that the Knowledge Olympiad Foundation encourages and initiates social processes and reforms through its council that will lead to full competitiveness in knowledge and skills for the incoming generations in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the European context.”

"Our children are diamonds that need to be polished through education from their very beginnings to shine brightly on the stage of knowledge and social progress in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the prosperity of the families they come from, and their own self-actualization in competition with children from the region, Europe, and the world."
