Zeqir KADRIU

Abstract

- The issue of the BDE after the renaming of the institution, - Dispersion of units in each city, - Initiative for new employment in each regional unit (for a short period of 6 months, involving 25 professional cadres), - Radical changes to programs in Albanian language and history, including the redefinition of groups and the formation of professional teams comprising the best teachers selected from all schools, - Involvement of teachers in trainings and projects undertaken by BDE, such as "Step by Step", "Interactive Learning, Active Learning", "Creation of the Student File", and "Citizen Education", supported by CRS, etc., - Reforms for Matura application.... The circumstances that arose after the 90s were not so favorable for the Albanian population in the RNM, (then RM). After the separation of Macedonia from the former Yugoslavia, despite the formation of two significant political entities by the Albanians, they once again failed to recognize the emerging trend towards establishing a binational state. Instead, the majority Macedonians prevailed over the Albanians, resulting in the adoption of a new Constitution establishing Macedonia as a bi-national state. Following this, Macedonians hastily established independent institutions such as the Macedonian State, Macedonian Television (TVM), and the Macedonian Church, among others, all bearing the Macedonian epithet, thereby disregarding the Albanian presence in Macedonia as inconsequential.
