The Ministry of Education and Science has identified several institutions operating with various irregularities, leading to the closure of 18 facilities. Among those affected are the Institute for Business Economics in Skopje, the Institute for Geobiology, Archaeology and Underground Water in Skopje, and the Institute for Fashion and Design in Tetovo. Minister of Education and Science Vesna Janevska reported through the ministry’s central daily that inspections conducted by a commission revealed multiple deficiencies across the affected bodies.
The reported shortcomings were varied, including instances where the necessary working conditions for researchers were not met. Furthermore, some institutes lacked established programs for scientific research, and in other cases, the facilities were relocated to spaces deemed incompatible for their intended function. As the comprehensive university inspections commenced, three to four institutions had already voluntarily ceased operations.
Minister Janevska addressed the situation, detailing the findings of the oversight process managed by the ministry. The inspections underscore the ministry’s commitment to maintaining high standards within the sphere of education and science. The irregularities noted suggest systemic issues concerning infrastructure, operational protocols, and the continuity of scientific programming across these specialized educational units.
These findings necessitate adherence to established regulations to ensure the quality of research and academic output provided by institutions operating under the purview of the ministry.
