North Macedonia education system crisis
Overview
Recent PISA test results have signaled a crisis in North Macedonia’s education system, revealing that only 26% of students demonstrate adequate reading comprehension skills. Experts attribute this decline to systemic issues, such as a lack of policy continuity caused by political administrations replacing existing programs and personnel, which erases institutional memory.
Further analysis from educators highlights social and technological factors contributing to the decline. There are concerns regarding a lack of reading habits among children, which some teachers suggest is exacerbated by materialistic parenting trends.
Additionally, a divergence in pedagogical strategy has been noted. While some international models, such as those in Scandinavia, are moving toward limiting mobile phones and artificial intelligence in favor of traditional textbooks, North Macedonian educational leadership continues to promote the use of artificial intelligence.
