The Jean Piaget Society (JPS) expresses its concern regarding the situation of the developmental/educational psychologists in Serbian universities. Since November 2024, diverse disruptions of normal academic life have been documented. This situation has created conditions under which scholars and students are unable to fulfill their academic roles.

The JPS maintains that professional integrity, solidarity and support for all members of the academic community must constitute universal tenets, extending beyond campus and nation borders. Ensuring that education and knowledge remain civic goods requires a broad, international commitment to intellectual autonomy and ethical responsibility. Such commitment is vital for universities, faculties and departments sustaining their mission as spaces of independent thought and reflection.

The work and welfare of scholars in general and developmental/educational psychologists in particular are crucial to understanding and meeting ongoing challenges to human development and education.

The JPS affirms its solidarity with students, researchers and professors of developmental and educational psychology in Serbia.
