Macedonia Education Profile 2012

Education and training facilities are of very poor quality, and government spending on R&D is only minimal. Education is a priority of the new government. In its efforts to lure foreign investors to do business in Macedonia, the government has realized that it needs an educated labor force. To increase the educational levels of its citizens, the government has opened a new public university, made secondary education mandatory for all citizens and plans to equip all schools with computers. Nevertheless, the Macedonian educational sector is still underdeveloped. The sector is a significant obstacle to Macedonia’s further development in all areas considered here. Quantitatively and qualitatively, investment in education, training and R&D is rather low. Although growing with the new government, the state’s expenditures for education are remarkably low.
