Abstract

Decentralization aims to enable the citizens, either directly or indirectly,
to be more involved in the decision making process in a wider
number of areas such as education, urban and rural planning, health,
culture, and local economic development. The Republic of Macedonia,
upon adopting the Law on Local Self-Government in 2002, commenced
this challenging process of transferring responsibilities from the national
to the local/Municipal level.
Both elementary and secondary education came under the Municipal
jurisdiction starting July 1, 2005. This transfer means that the Municipalities
assumed ownership over school buildings, and other property
related to elementary and secondary education, as well as responsibility
for the maintenance of school buildings, and the payment of salaries
for auxiliary staff. As the process evolves further, the Municipalities
will receive additional responsibilities. The process of decentralizing
education involves the participation of many stakeholders including
school directors, parents and students.
The domain of primary and secondary education is covered by the
Law on Local Self-Government, the Law on Primary Education and its
amendments, the Law on Secondary Education and its amendments,
the Law on State Education Inspectorate, and the Law on Financing of
the Local Self-Government Units.
