The Right to Education of National Minorities in FYR of Macedonia: From Exclusion to ‘Inclusive Education’

Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

Abstract: The right to education is a fundamental right enshrined in the most important legal documents and international conventions. Nevertheless in countries with ethnic and linguistic divisions, the right to education is not guaranteed to all and often it is required a genuine implementation of policies in order to achieve inclusiveness and full realization of this right. In this paper I will analyze how this right is implemented when it comes to national minorities in the case of FYR of Macedonia. In the first part of this paper I will compare the educational system before and after the Ohrid Agreement, to find the root causes of the segregation of pupils with different ethnic background in Macedonian schools today. This phenomena lead to the necessity of a new approach when it comes to education in divided societies: that of inclusive education. The last chapter will discuss specific policy suggestions in order to overcome barriers to the inclusiveness in education. In this paper I will mainly use secondary sources such as reports and studies published by international and regional organizations. Primary sources will be also consulted such as the Macedonian legislation on the educational sector from 1991. Keywords: Albanians of Macedonia, National Minorities, Right to education, FYR of Macedonia, Inclusive Education
