As a member of the Roma community, he has limited access to educational resources. Thanks to the Connected Schools Project supported by the EIB in Serbia, over 3 800 schools across the country, including Nemanja's, now have ultra-fast internet. This access allows him to learn digital skills and access the information he needs to chase his dreams and secure a job in the future. The project provides internet access to remote schools and underserved communities, helping to bridge the digital divide. This ensures that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. Now, over 730 000 students and 100 000 teachers have access to a modern digital environment.</p> <p><span class="fa-circle-info fa-light"> </span> <a
