Do you know that inspiring and successful stories from the Hastor Foundation know no borders? We will prove this to you in the new season of the Hastor Foundation Podcast, in which we will continue to present our former and current scholarship holders whose knowledge, talents, numerous skills and positive energy conquer the whole world and bring success to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Alem Merdić, an alumni of the Hastor Foundation, is proof that education truly wins and that true values always find their way. Our Doctor of Economic Sciences, through a guest appearance on the Podcast, among other things, spoke about the education system and the necessary changes that will strengthen the future leaders of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I reserve the answer that we lack practices in education, because you see, you cannot say ‘we lack practices’ without knowing which practices, in which areas. There are disciplines in which it is important and in which it is not important. I think that here it is a wider social problem, which on the one hand must include the labor market, on the other hand it must include educational institutions and power holders as moderators in the whole process that will frame the legal framework.
Recalling the beginnings and early years of college education, Alem points out that he always saw his professors as his greatest role models, even when they did not react in accordance with his wishes. But today, when he is behind the chair, he notices how challenging it is to work with young people.
It is very difficult to work with young people today. We live in a time when we are served instant success, we are served some prosperity. Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to achieve this and then, in a way, they ask right after high school to start creating money, income, so that they can afford what is acceptable on social networks.
However, no matter how many obstacles appear in front of him, our guest successfully overcomes them and deservedly bears the epithet “inspiration”. Today, he is known as an inspiration and role model for his students, and he did the same through his involvement in the Hastor Foundation, where he left an indelible mark.
