North Macedonia education administration disputes

In North Macedonia, Minister of Education and Science Vesna Janevska has faced political scrutiny regarding various administrative and infrastructural issues within the education sector.

Initially, a dispute arose involving SDSM MP Sanja Lukarevska concerning construction delays at Kiro Gligorov Primary School in Skopje. The delay forced students to begin the school year with online classes. Minister Janevska attributed the delay to late municipal approval and noted that the project is intended to expand capacity for single-shift classes. She also addressed broader school optimization efforts.

Subsequently, the Minister addressed allegations from the Levica party regarding the transparency of student dormitory admissions. Janevska denied claims that the Ministry was concealing results, asserting that ranking lists for accepted and rejected students were published according to established regulations. The Director of Student Dormitories confirmed that 1,695 students have been accepted, with specific criteria applied to the selection process.
