The foundation initially aimed to build 120 classrooms in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development by the end of 2022.
The official goal set by the foundation and the Ministry has thus been exceeded with the setting up of the study rooms in 30 municipalities across 3136 locations throughout the country as per novakdjokovicfoundation.org.
As per its official website, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development is "responsible for the planning and development of preschool, primary, secondary and higher education, student and student standards. The Ministry takes care of the education of gifted students and students, but also of inclusive education."
The foundation has also helped more than 50,000 students and trained over 2200 teachers since its inception.
What a great news. Novak Djokovic Foundation donates 94.000€ for the reconstruction of a full-day preschool in Serbia. :)

The 35-year-old was candid enough to admit that he was unsure what to speak about.
"When they asked me to come, I asked myself what I should talk about here when it is not my familiar field. But I realized that together we share a love for work, a passion. You are heroes for me, you save lives," he said, according to Tennis Infinity.
Meanwhile, the Serbian has qualified for the year-end ATP Finals for the 15th time in his career. The 2022 edition of the event will be held in Turin.
