The Right to Education in the Republic of Macedonia: The Right to Education in one's Mother Tongue

AbstractThe right to education in the Republic of Macedonia in the past was not a complete right due to the powerful impact of the former political system. However, the current pluralist system of parliamentary democracy is based on the implementation of international human rights in general, and educational rights in particular. Therefore, the right to education in one's mother tongue has been carefully and seriously reviewed by the state authorities in the 21st century, as a result of the citizens’ real needs and necessities. This paper analyzes the right to education in one's mother tongue in Macedonia as well as its legal and institutional grounds and the current situation with the education opportunities in the Albanian language in Macedonia
