This note identifies major challenges
now facing the Macedonian education system and suggests
policies and programs for addressing them. Its primary
function is to inform the representatives of the Government
as well as other political leaders and stakeholders, in a
continual dialogue with the World Bank, about the Bank
team's position on the main challenges and policy
options, which Macedonian education policy makers may
consider. Given the past ethnic conflict and current
political situation, Macedonia likely will require a
significant increase in donor support in upcoming years to
remedy some underlying social and economic problems and to
simplify rehabilitating the school infrastructure. It is
important that donor activities fit into a strategy and a
follow-up policy framework to be agreed upon with the
Government. Based on the country assistance strategy signed
by the Government and the Bank, the next education
project's preparation is underway and is planned to be
effective by early 2004. This education policy note
therefore intends to offer a coherent policy basis for the
government's evolving strategy and to establish a basis
for the project preparation, for other donor activities in
education and for subsequent discussions on the
opportunities and options of future Bank support in
education. The note focuses on (i) the main strength and
potential of education in assisting the country's
overall social and economic development; (ii) the main
challenges education faces in terms of the system's
management, structure and performance; (iii) the
opportunities and policy options for reforming the education
system; (iv) the main political risks that reformers need to
take into account; and (v) general reform options the
government strategy could take into account. |
