The commencement of the new academic year in various regions, such as the village of Frukë, has highlighted a noticeable trend in the education sector. A significant decline has been observed in the total number of students enrolled in Macedonian schools, attributed to both a decrease in the overall student population and an outflow of young people from the country. As the new school year approaches, enrollment figures indicate a substantial drop.
Currently, approximately 14,500 students are registered in the first division nationwide. This figure represents a considerable decrease when compared to the 23,266 students enrolled in the same period a decade ago. The reduction in the number of enrolled students is a marked trend.
Furthermore, there is an observable increase in the number of children who do not sit for their final exams by the conclusion of the academic year, leading to a growing segment of students participating in interim school programs. Historical data corroborates this decline. In 2016, 23,266 students were enrolled.
The following year saw a reduction to 21,656. In 2016, 22,130 new students were enrolled, a figure that subsequently remained at 22,130 in the subsequent year, illustrating the fluctuations in the number of students within the school system.
