Skopje, 17 November 2022 (MIA) – Students marched Thursday from the Government building to the Ministry of Education and Science, demanding better conditions and the standard they deserve. “How many qualified people will have to leave before you come to your senses? Do you know what the outcome is when you fight against us? The student awakening is a herald of many societal changes. I hope for a more democratic Parliament in the future,” Milica Davcheva of the “Student Resistance” movement told the protest. The university student assemblies of Ss. Cyril and Methodius University (UKIM), South East European University, FON, American College, universities in Bitola and Shtip and “Student Resistance” organized the march on occasion of International Students’ Day. The Student Assembly of UKIM stated this is a common struggle and only together can the students protect their rights and have their demands met: allocating budget funds for better conditions in the student dormitories, exemption of the students from the anti-crisis measures, full implementation of the law on student meals, equalizing scholarships, raising the quality of education and digitization.
