Belgrade, 19 May 2006 – Under the patronage of HRH Crown Prince Alexander II, a three-day workshop on College Counselling for Secondary School teachers took place 17 - 19 May 2006 at the American College of Thessaloniki (ACT).

The American College of Thessaloniki is a University division of Anatolia, accredited in the USA by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), and is well known in Greece as one of the best non-profit educational institutions.

ACT offers a unique programme to Serbian teachers, aiming to give them expertise and specific skills on College Counselling.

Crown Prince Alexander II initiated this pilot programme to enable teachers from the major high schools in Serbia to acquire knowledge and expertise in college counselling, in order to help pupils with their professional orientation and future life.

This programme has all the potential to become successful and to be offered to a larger number of qualified secondary school teachers in the future.
