Training young people in the direction of creating new experts in software and new technology is also a strategic commitment PAKOM Group.
Creating digital classrooms in elementary schools throughout Serbia, sets the basis on which young people will acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. In particular, we are glad that this project will improve school conditions where they are most needed in small and underdeveloped areas, outside major urban centers, especially in the interior of Serbia. Due to its natural position, because PAKOM is a leader in new technologies in the South of Serbia, we have constantly supported the concept of balanced regional development, and it was fully implemented in the "Digital School".
We believe that further steps should be directed towards high school and academic youth, so that our country in the near future becomes a relevant factor in information technology. Therefore, we expect that this project will set a very good foundation, but that all together we must continue to work to have for our children build a better future, that is, we are convinced, based primarily on knowledge.”
