He said such projects improved the quality of teaching and proved that good things too happened in Croatian education, adding that this project had a lot od attention in the European Union.
This is the biggest European lifelong learning project involving 24 partner schools from 23 countries, including the Tesla secondary vocational school in Zagreb.
Jovanovic said this school was chosen because of innovation and enthusiasm for international projects.
EU coordinator Tatjana Antic said the basic purpose was to develop successful cooperation between various European educational institutions through the team work of students and teachers.
The Tesla school has been participating in EU projects since 2004 and as part of this project since 2006, including meetings in Croatia, Portugal, Slovenia, Austria and Finland.
The project is worth more than EUR 500,000 on the European level. In Croatia, it is being implemented as part of the Comenius Partnership and is under the remit of the Agency for Mobility and EU Projects.
Jovanovic said that with this project, Croatia wanted to show that its future was to be an EU member, "which we can accomplish only through knowledge, innovation and speaking foreign languages."
Computer technology is the future and improving education by putting an emphasis on skills is our goal and obligation, he said.
