The Ministry of Education and Science has announced that it will publish an analysis concerning the network of primary schools on its official website tomorrow. This report was compiled by the Ministry’s statistical services in collaboration with national partners. According to the findings presented in the analysis, an estimated 17,000 students have left the country over the past 10 years.
Minister of Education and Science Vesna Jovanovska addressed the findings while also responding to recent criticism from Blagoj Bočvarski, the former minister and representative of the SDSM party. Addressing the planned optimization of the educational system, Minister Jovanovska emphasized that the primary focus during any restructuring effort must be on the welfare of the children, rather than solely on the institutions or teaching staff. In the context of the debate, Jovanovska specifically refuted claims regarding staff reductions.
She stated that no teachers have been dismissed from their positions within the last two years. Furthermore, she assured that support mechanisms, such as career counseling, would be implemented to assist educators with their professional development. The Ministry maintained that any changes to the primary school network will prioritize student outcomes while ensuring the stability and professional support for existing teaching personnel.
