BOYCOTT OF CLASSES IN E. SLAVONIA TO END ON MONDAY ( Editorial: --> 1141 )

( Editorial: --> 1141 ) VUKOVAR, 15 Nov (Hina) - The partial boycott of classes in primary and secondary schools in the Croatian Danube river region will stop on Monday, 17 November, and children will resume classes, Vukovar press-centre of the Joint Council of (Serb-dominated) Municipalities reported. "We have accepted the advice of the National Trust Establishment Committee that pupils should resume classes on Monday" said a statement by Dusan Jaksic, representative of Serb parents whose children did not attend classes. However, if the conclusions adopted on 10 November in Zagreb by the Croatian Government representatives, the National Trust Restoration Committee and local Serbs are not implemented, the boycott will resume, Jaksic said, adding they would especially insist on the revision of appointment of school heads, which is to be carried out within seven days. The 10 November conclusions also set the deadlines for the making of bilingual school seals and school plaques, as well as the deadline until which the Education and Sport Ministry, the Serb cultural society 'Prosvjeta' and the Joint Council of Municipalities are to suggest translators who will translate textbooks into Serbian. It was agreed that school documentation would be bilingual and that classes attended by Serb pupils would be in Serbian. It was also agreed that the decision on the moratorium on the teaching of history subjects referring to the former Yugoslavia would be consistently respected as well as that the process of recognition of teachers' diplomas would be accelerated. The implementation of these conclusions will be supervised by the National Trust Establishment Committee. (hina) rm 152051 MET nov 97
