The implementation of Civic Education curricula at the upper elementary level continues through the implementation of regional trainings for all Grade Five teachers, and textbook production. The program has also financially supported a BED initiative for the development of Grade Five and Six textbooks that address the structure of the school, local community and local and national government. In negotiation with the local USAID mission a one-year no-cost extension request was submitted to USAID Regional Contacting Office in Hungary, and is in process of review. The no-cost extension aims to ensure that during the period September 2001- September 2003 planned Civic Education activities at lower elementary level are implemented, and that Civic Education at upper elementary education is included as a component of the USAID funded program. Please refer to the Annual Report 3, September 2000 - September 2001 for further details.

The Children's Initiative program in fiscal year 2001 facilitated parent - teacher support of extra-curricula activities for primary school students in eight pilot schools. Parents and teachers have developed long-term action plans to provide a variety of activities for children in the community. The results of this program and on-going assessment on child­focused needs in Macedonia indicate that the program should be implemented on a wider level; the program will involve I 5 schools during 2002.

The Education Department participated in annual program planning for fiscal year 2002. This resulted in effectively planned implementation plans for all programming areas, and built the level of responsibility and ownership of all staff involved in programming. Team activities in Autumn 200 I also resulted in the development of the Department vision and mission statements. Please refer to Annex 2 for further details.

2 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE 2.1 International Technical Assistance 2.1.1 CCE On-going communication and negotiation continues with the Center for Civic Education, USA (CCE) during the reporting period. Due to the instability in the country and the associated safety concerns, CRS and CCE were unable to implement planning activities in Macedonia for future program development originally proposed for autumn 2001. CRS and CCE priorities are in the field of Civic Education program quality management. Both organizations plan international technical support in the form of consultancy to the Civic Education program during the next year. A planning session involving CRS, CCE and BED is planned for March 2002.

2.2 Local Technical Assistance 2.2.1 BEDIMOE/Civic Edncation Working Group The Bureau of Educational Development Civic Education Working Group continues to be active in the planning and implementation of project activities. Specific Working Group activities during this reporting period include planning and organizing seminars for Parent Council representatives, implementation of in-class observations, and preparation for the Civic Education newsletter.

Page 3: (3U -0('20 II 3s QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT

CRS staff presented the Civic Education annual implementation plan for 2002 to representative of the Bureau of Education Development including the Director, the Deputy Director and the Leader of the Working Group. The group accepted the plan of activities and the proposed timeframes. All parties agreed that it was necessary to revise the existing Memorandum of Understanding to reflect the programming changes. CRS will work directly with the BED during the next reporting period to draft a revised MoU.

3 MINISTRY OF EDUCATION / BUREAU OF EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF MACEDONIA During the last reporting period student displacement was the key issue affecting the ministry of Education. During this reporting period the general security situation in the country improved, and displaced students returned to their communities and schools in the majority of conflict-affected regions.

The Ministry of Education has faced challenges as a result of conflict in 2001. In a high school in Kumanovo students from different ethnicities refused to attend lessons during the same teaching shifts. The Ministry also faced challenges in accommodating regular students in a number of student dormitories, which had been housed by a large number of internally displaced people who had not returned to their homes due to the perceived security risks.

During the reporting period the Law for Local Self Government was passed. The Minister for Education expressed commitment to a gradual progression towards decentralization in education. He emphasized that local government should be involved in the maintenance of the school buildings, but that a number of crucial education issues such as the curricula should still remain with national decision-making in the Ministry of Education.

4. PROJECT RELATED ACTIVITIES 4.1. Regional Kindergarten and Grade One through Four Foundations of Democracy Teacher Trainiug During the reporting period regional teacher trainings continued, with on-going coordination with the BED ensuring successful implementation of all training activities throughout the country. All planned training seminars for this period were successfully implemented; training seminars in Debar and Tetovo that had been previously postponed for security reasons were also conducted under improved conditions.

Between September and December 2001, the second cycle of regional Grade One through Four Foundations of Democracy trainings were implemented, with a further 282 Grade One through Four teachers trained in the curricula program. Please refer to Annex 3 for the summary evaluation of Grade One through Four seminars implemented.

The third and last cycle of regional Foundations of Democracy kindergarten trainings was implemented during October and November 2001. Eight regional trainings were implemented, with 159 pre-school teachers trained. Please refer to Annex 4 for the summary evaluation of Kindergarten seminars implemented. Monitoring and evaluation

Page 4: (3U -0('20 II 3s QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT

of the events indicated that the majority of seminars had a high level of attendance and participation.

4.2 TraiNet Database The USAID TraiNet database is updated on a regular basis ensuring that information on participants, trainers, evaluation and cost per training is inputted for each Kindergarten and Grades 1-4 seminar conducted during the reporting period. Please refer to Annex 5 for summary reports from the updated TraiNet database.

4.3 Production and Distribution of Textbooks During this reporting period the following textbooks were printed in Macedonian, Albanian and Turkish languages, and distributed throughout Macedonia.

Teaching Gronp Quantity Grade Two 30,816 Grade Three 3,540 Grade Five 31,608 The textbooks were distrIbuted dunng early October 2001. Due to securIty issues and hence poor access 15 schools in the Skopje region, in the villages of Aracinovo, Brest, Grusino, Rasce, Radusa, Bojane, Ljuboten, were unable to be supplied with textbooks. The textbook distribution in these schools is postponed until the security in these locations improves.

4.4 ConsnItancies - Mid Term Evaluation and Training on Evaluation for Implementing Partners. During this reporting period communication continued with the UK based consultancy organization, International Management Association (IMA) for engagement of Dr. Gina Holdar, who was selected to run the Mid-Term evaluation. The organization continued to express its concerns on the security status in Macedonia and the involvement of Dr. Holder. CRS transferred to IMA 50% of the payment for the evaluation design prepared by Dr. Holdar. The remainder of the payment will be transferred upon completion of the mid-term evaluation.

Communication also continued with International NGO Training and Research Center (INTRAC) on provision of a training seminar for developing evaluation tools for a core group of Civic Education stakeholders in Macedonia. The goals of the training seminar are to facilitate the development of effective Civic Education evaluation tools, which review the skills, attitudes and knowledge gained by students participating in the Civic Education program, whilst introducing a variety of methodologies associated with evaluation to training participants. It has been discussed with the Bureau of Educational Development that the outcomes of the training will form the basis of a pilot to be introduced in a sample of schools involved in the program during this school year, and expectation that in future this pilot will form the basis for national evaluation of students in Civic Education. This activity, originally planned for Spring 2001, was postponed until spring 2002 due to the instability in Macedonia.

Page 5: (3U -0('20 II 3s QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT

4.5 In-class Observations In-class observation schedules for academic year 200112002 were developed in coordination with the BED advisors. 12 schools (10%) from the pilot 120 Grade 3 classes were selected as a sample for in-class observations, 36 schools (10%) from Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 were selected as a sample for national in-class observations. Sample schools were selected according to proportional representation of; ethnicity in Macedonia, rural urban location and representation of schools across the twelve educational regions in Macedonia. Please refer to Annex 6 for a list of the in-class observation schedules for the academic year.

BED Advisors responsible for specific grades and regions and CRS staff will attend each of the in-class activities and review a checklist of qualities of a Civic Education lessons to evaluate the success of the lesson and the work of the teacher. The checklist was developed utilizing CCE technical assistance through the work of the BED Civic Education Working Group and CRS staff. Please refer to Annex 7 for copy of the in-class observation tool and checklist. From the planned 48 observations in kindergarten, Grade One, Grade Two and Grade Three classrooms for the entire academic year, there were 19 implemented between November and December 2001. The remaining in-class observations will be implemented during the second semester of the academic year. Completed in-class observation reports indicate good program accomplishments from the students to date. Please refer to Annex 8 for a summary evaluation of in-class observation reports. BED Advisors conduct further observation of Civic Education lessons, the majority of BED Advisors forward copies of their reports to CRS for monitoring purposes.

4.6 Newsletter Production In September 2001 the third edition of the "Civic Education - Today" Newsletter was printed and 147,862 copies distributed in three languages to parents, teachers and directors of all kindergartens and elementary schools throughout Macedonia. CRS continues to distribute the newsletter to regional BED offices for internal regional distribution, and directly distributes to schools in Skopje. Please refer to Annex 9 for examples of the third edition Civic Education Newsletter.

Preparation for the fourth edition newsletter started in November, with a proposed distribution at the beginning of the second semester 2002. The Civic Education newsletter editing committee involving the BED and CRS facilitated collection and selection of articles.

4.7 Regional Seminars for Parent Council Members Civic Education Parent Councils seminars introducing parents to the Foundations of Democracy and the Project Citizen programs of study have continued in the Kocani, Strumica, Ohrid, Struga and Skopje regions. These seminars provide the representatives of the Parent Councils with opportunity to gain experience in the Civic Education program, to learn more about the concepts and methodologies used, and gain knowledge and skills of citizen participation. To further support this activity BED and CRS staff worked together in developing an informational brochure for distribution to parents. This will be distributed to all Parent Councils in spring 2002.

Page 6: (3U -0('20 II 3s QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT

During this reporting period, representatives from 114 Parent Councils attended Civic Education awareness seminars. Participants who attended the seminars were overwhelmingly pleased with the content; they actively participated in all aspects of the event. Please refer to Annex 10 an example evaluation of Parent Council seminars implemented. Even so, there was considerably low attendance at all of the seminars conducted; according to the BED Advisors knowledge and understating of the relationships between the school management and the Parent Councils this was due to the untimely and inappropriate manner of informing the Parent Councils. CRS have planned to postpone future planned Parent Council seminars to work with the BED in reviewing opportunities for building school and Parent Council relationships through the implementation of these events whilst ensuring high levels of attendance and participation.

5. OTHER ACTIVITIES - CRS Civic Education Activities The implementation of Civic Education curricula at the upper elementary level has been requested for inclusion in the existing USAID Civic Education project, and is detailed in the project no-cost extension, September 2002 - September 2003.

5.1 Regional Grade Five Teacher Trainings During the reporting period regional Grade Five teacher training seminars continued. The majority of planned training seminars for this period were successfully implemented; a number required postponing due to extreme temperatures and poor heating in the planned locations. Two training seminars in Tetovo that had been previously postponed for security reasons were conducted under improved conditions. Please refer to Annex 11 for the summary evaluation of Grade Five teacher training seminars implemented between May and December 200 I. Results from the evaluation show a very positive overall assessment.

5.2 Project Citizen Exchange Model As a follow up to the study visit to Northern Ireland in June, 2001, and further improved knowledge on a variety of Civic Link programs implemented globally, a new initiative for enriching the Civic Education "We, the People, Project Citizen" curricula program is planned. The Macedonian model, the Civic Education Exchange Model aims to establish strong linkages among schools with different ethnic background using computers, e-mail and the Internet. This program will be implemented during the second semester of the school year as a pilot program in two schools.

5.3 Study Visit in Netherlands During the period from November 19 - 25, 200 I a delegation of 8 staff from different CRS offices in the Balkan and Caucasus region attended meetings held with the National Center for School Improvement (APS) and participated in the European Research Network About Parents in Education (ERNAPE) Conference. The goal of the conference was to strengthen mechanisms for collaboration between parents, schools and community as a key component of pupils' development opportunities, the enhancement of pupils' educational careers and the improvement of teachers' performance.

Page 7: (3U -0('20 II 3s QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT

CRS Regional Educational Support Office in Skopje and the APS have designed a three­year program to work together to support the CRS/Europe Education Network (EdNet) and CRSlEurope's local education partners by developing linkages within and with organizations in Eastern and Western Europe. The purpose of the meeting held in Utrecht in November 2002 was to learn more about APS and discuss expectations of the CRS -APS cooperation on Linkages. All Macedonian participants returned to Macedonia enthusiastic and motivated to further enrich the quality of linkages in CRS Education programs there-by establishing strong national and international linkages.

5.4 Textbook productiou In autumn 2001 Grade Five Civic Education, Project Citizen textbooks were printed and distributed to regional BED offices for all students in their language of instruction. The distribution by language of instruction was as follows

Munic~ality_ Macedonian Albanian Turkish Skopje 6.073 2.548 209 Gostivar 550 1.450 250 Bitola 1.700 85 25 Veles 700 200 0 Stip 1.900 0 50 Ohrid 1.900 1.400 38 Kavadarci 1.500 0 0 Prilep 1.600 130 21 Tetovo 600 2.900 50 Strumica 1.450 0 16 Kocani - Berovo 1.800 0 0 Kumanovo 1.650 1.050 0 Total 21.423 9.763 659 .. As reported prevIOusly CRS/Macedoma financIally supported prIntmg of a ClVlC Education textbook developed by the Bureau of Educational Development. Initially, BED requested printing of 20.500 textbooks in Macedonian, Albanian and Turkish language to distribute in the Macedonian elementary schools. The numbers of textbooks printed were insufficient to support all Grade 5 students. Therefore, in November 2001, BED requested support from CRS in printing of an additional 11.600 copies of the textbooks. CRS provided financial support for printing of these Civic Education (as with other Civic Education) textbooks in order to ensure that every student was able to receive a copy of the textbook.

5.5 Follow up on the Strategy Planning Session, May 2001 During this reporting period the key focus for follow to the Strategy Planning Session on Civic Education was preparing for involvement of special needs institutions into the Civic Education program. The Civic Education Working Group was actively involved in assessing the opportunity for introducing the curricula program in special needs schools. The Leader of the Working Group held meetings with representatives from several schools and institutes for children with special needs from Skopje and Bitola. Representatives, including teachers, directors, pedagogues, and psychologists from these schools were introduced to the Civic Education curricula programs. The meeting also

7

Page 8: (3U -0('20 II 3s QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT

allowed for increased dialogue on special needs schools and institutes in Macedonia, existing curricula provision in respect of the students special needs, and identification of the most appropriate Civic Education curricula program for II distinct special needs target group. After this period of research the BED and CRS decided to pilot Civic Education curricula in two pilot Grade 3 classes from the Institute for children with hearing difficulties in Bitola. Professionals from the special needs institute in Bitola agreed that with minor adaptations the Grade 1 Civic Education curricula would be most appropriate for pilot in Grade 3 classes. CRS will provide supplies and textbooks for the students and the teachers, the BED will provide support with curricula adaptations.

6. FUTURE ACTIVITIES 6.1 Regional Teacher Training During the next reporting period, CRS Civic Education Project staff will continue providing support for a limited number of outstanding trainings mostly in the regions that were affected by the conflicts and thus postponed for later implementation. It is expected that all outstanding trainings for Grade 1-4 and Grade 5 teachers will be completed by the beginning of the second semester of the academic year 2001-2002.

6.2 Newsletter Edition four of the "Civic Education Today" Newsletter will be printed and distributed to schools throughout Macedonia by March 2002; all students, teachers and school management staff will receive a copy ofthe Civic Education Newsletter.

6.3 Regional Parent Council Seminars During the next reporting period the Civic Education Working Group will revise the existing and develop a new strategy for implementing regional Parent Council Civic Education seminars. In order to support this process of disseminating information about civic education reform and parental support for the curricula, brochures for Parent Council representatives will be distributed to each of the 344 Parent Councils. The Brochures will be printed in Macedonian, Albanian and Turkish language.

6.5 In-class observations CRS staff will continue attending in-class observations during the next reporting period with BED staff in Kindergarten, Grades One, Two, Three, Five and Six classes throughout Macedonia.

6.7 Training on Evaluation for Implementing Partners The training seminar on developing evaluation tools for evaluating students knowledge, skills and attitudes as a result of the exposure to the civic education curricula in schools, is planned for the next reporting period. An external consultant will conduct the training and a group of 20 civic education stakeholders will attend the four-day training session. The long-term goal of this activity is to support the Bureau of Educational Development in developing national Civic Education testing of students.

Upon the request of the initial developers (BED of Macedonia and CRS) of the "Civic-Education - A Path to A Civil Society" project, class observations of the "Foundations of Democracy" program were carried out in a number of first grade classes in schools in the Bitola area during the period of March -June 2001.

Through these class observations, comments from pupils and teachers, role-play and drawing activities and other creative activities involving painting, cutting, gluing and decorating, it was apparent that

pupils reacted positively and were delighted with these classes.

In the majority of observed classes, it was noted that there was a closing phase to either the class lesson or activity. This may have involved a short presentation by an individual or group, or there was a round off discussion of the concepts studied, where pupils summarized what they had learned about responsibility, justice, respecting the law or privacy.

Program strengths and short­comings:

- Pupils were able to correctly name the concepts and identify, describe and assess characters, situations and events related to stories, as well as doing the same for their own experiences as they related to new situations in school, at home or with their friends.

- Materials and activities that

Page 57: (3U -0('20 II 3s QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT

were used to discuss the concepts ofthe program were met with interest and cooperation. Pupils found it fun to perfonn tasks either individually or through pair and group work.

- A class journal was kept which included how the concepts had been learned.

While there were notable accomplishments to the program, there were also a number of shortcomings. These include:

- The added burden to pupils and on classroom time required to cover all the material within each concept

- The complexity of the concepts of "authority" and "justice"

- The limited ability of first grade pupils to work individually

- The cost of added office supplies such as photocopies, paper, glue, etc. in some school

Teachers were consulted as to how to overcome or minimize the effects of the above-mentioned shortcomings.

"DEMOCRACY" - WHAT IS IT? Scene: Children's playground. Child #1 is sitting and drawing something. Four children arrive carrying a box that has·uPrinciples of Democracy: justice, responsibility, authority, privacir written on it.

Child #1: Hey, guys! What's that weird thing you're carrying? (tries to lift box) Wow, it's heavy!!!!! Child #2: No, it's not. Child #3: You only think it is. Child #4: The principles of democracy. Child #5: And they're great! Child #1: Democracy? What's that? Child #2: It's responsibility. Child #3: It's justice. Child #4: It's authority. Child #5: It's privacy.

Child #1: But I don't understand anything! All: Don't worry! We'll tell it to you straight without lying to you. (Child #1 listens and begins to write things down)

Child #1: It says here, "responsibility"!!? Child #2: It's our responsibility to be at school or at home on time. Child #3: It's good to study and to have our homework finished on time. Child #4: And we have to brush our teeth regularly. Child #5: And if we've got pets, we have to take care of them.

Child #1: "Justice," what's that? Child #2: Justice is when you share your snack with your friends. Child #3: Justice is when we have to answer for OUf mistakes. Child #4: Like when you break a school win­dow, justice means having to pay for it. Child #5: And justice is voting on what game we're all going to play.

Child #1: "Authority," and what's that all about? Child #2: My mom uses authority when she asks me to take care of my little brother. Child #3: Or when a policeman tells me where I'm allowed to cross the street. Or when the teacher tells us to do something. Child #4: Or when my friend tells me to give him the ball. I do it or else he'll beat me up. Child #5: That's not authority. He's using force without authority.

Child #1: Who's going to tell me about "pri­vacy"? Child #2: PriVaCy is when I'm in my room alone and no one can see what I'm doing.

Child #3: Privacy is when I decide to share a secret with my friend and not have to tell the others. Child #4: It's when I get a new toy and want to play all by myself. . Child #5: Privacy is not having to say who I really, really, like! Child #1: You're right, It's all like a simple song,

It took just a second to write, After I heard what you said. A verse about democracy It goes like this:

If you take responsibility, Good things will be said about you. "He's so responsible!1t And that gives you A lot of satisfaction, too.

Is it fair and just That you have something, and that I don't? And if you've done something bad, you must

Take the blame, of course. And justice comes Through your right to vote.

Authority is used by those people Who think about what's good for you. But if it's force, that's not the same, Instead your cheeks will burn!.

If you keep your own secrets, Or just want to bealone, That's privacy, I've learned!

All: Democracy is easy, It's like learning a simple song!

Presentation a/the program "We The People ... Project Citizen "in/ront a/the parents"

National Parent Conference On June 9th and 10th, 2001 a National Parent Conference was organized by CRS as

part of the "Strengthening of Parents Involvement in Primary Education" project in Ohrid. One hundred and thirty-five representatives from primary school Parent Councils

throughout Macedonia participated at the conference, as well as representatives and invited guests from parent organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Albania, Armenia and Yugoslavia.

During the portion of the conference that included educational projects implemented by the CRS, a presentation of the "Civic Education-A Path to a Civic Society" project was given. This presentation addressed programs implemented in pre-school and primary edu­cation in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Science of Macedonia and the Bureau for Educational Development.

A special contribution to the conference was made by primary schuol pupils of "Hristo Uzunov" Public School in Ohrid.

The conference was an ideal opportunity for parents to be introduced to the concept of civic education and to learn how these programs are carried out in schools throughout Macedonia.

Svetlana Gasoska "Strengthening of Parents Involvement in Primary Education" Project Coordinator

"Delighted and I abo.

As a member of the Pam Council of "Goce Delcev" Primal School, I had an opportunity to attend training session for parents held on Ju] 5th, 2001 on "Civic Education-A Pat to a Civil Society." Presidents an deputies from other Parent Councils i Bitola and the surrounding villages c Resen and Demir Risar also attende this training session.

I must admit that receiving thi invitation caused me to think about cel tain questions, for which answers wer, to be found in the session itself.

My son is a second grade pupi where the "Foundations 0

Democracy" program has been imple· mented at his school. I have oftel heard him use the words "concepts responsibility, authority, justice and pri· vacy." These are difficult and comple, words indeed, but my son explainec their meaning to me in a very simph way.

The training session began with : presentation of the "Foundations 0

Democracy" program by pupils wh, had recently completed the seconr grade, and was followed by a presenw tion of the "We the People ... Proje( Citizen" program by recently complet ed sixth grade pupils from "Goc Delcev" Primary School in Bitola We, the parents, were amazed at hoy these programs were explained. I felt, bit proud as well, as I had already hean my son explain these programs much it the same manner as it was presented b)

PRESENTATIONS FROM THE K(J Primary schools in the municipalities of Kocani,

Vinica, Berovo and Delcevo held theit presentations at the end of May and at the beginning of June 200 I.

The accomplishments of the pupils and teach­ers from the region deserve high praisefor their efforts. Special recognition was given to the ~fth grade pupils from "Nikola Karev" and "K.iril i Metodij" Primary Schools in Kocani, YTodor Arsov"Primary School in Zrnovci .and "Kliment Ohridski" Primary School in Oblesevo.'

These presentations showed that children at this young age, through organisation and given informa­tion, were able to learn about democracy to their satis­faction. The "We The People ... Project Citizen" pro­gram, as part of the "Civic Education - A Path To A Civil Society" project, has been completely accepted by these pupils, teachers and parents. These civic education projects have provided the information and techniques required for learning "how" to think, instead of "what" to think.

Through these pre; pupils had learned the sk negotiation, collaboratior flicts and bringing about d sus. Through intensive c( their teachers and parents, ising themselves in the g given task and deciding OJ

these pupils. We parents learned something

from these pupils' presentations. In the first presentation, we learned that com­plex words only seem to be complex , because they are not used often in our daily vocabulary, and that complex ',words need not necessarily imply com­plex meaning. These children under­stood that "responsibility" arises from family, from work and from within our­selves. These children understood why the director and teachers in their school are in "authority," and that the child who steals lunch money out of another child's pocket during recess is using "power without authority." They understood how things should be shared fairly, that they themselves are accountable for their own mistakes and also, that privacy meant not having to say something you did not want to.

Through the "We the People ... Project Citizen" program, we parents learned and became aware of how much those tiny little brains were capable of learning, what our children's eyes saw, what their little hands could make and what their lips were saying, which left us speech.less following the presenta­tion.

where they had left off. The session continued with lec­

tures given by the trainers, Mrs. Slobodanka Ristevska and Mrs. Vera Dimovska. They organized us into workshops, where the parents were put into the role of children, in order for us to see if we could assess the effective­ness of the project. They explained why each activity was done the way it was and what it was intended to achieve. It was interesting and fun for all parents. It was the first time we saw what our children were learning about the foun­dations of democracy.

One of the most important things that I learned at this training session was that we should not ask that our chil­dren merely aquire knowledge for knowledge sake; the educated indivi­dual is not "educated" because he mere­ly possesses knowledge, but is so by nature of the fact that he has the ability and confidence to use his knowledge at will. This project not only gives our children an opportunity to gain know­ledge, but aids in developing their indi­vidual abilities and building individual opinions on various issues.

Fersonally I am delighted and happy that my children will be learning about what we saw and heard.

Parents' and Children Learn

About Democracy

The "Civic Education-A Path to a Civil Society" project was implemen­ted in kindergarten· classes during the second semester of the 2000/2001 aca­demic year. Through various guided activities, the four concepts of the "Foundations of Democracy" program were introduced and practiced.

Learning is through interactive activities such as group and pair work and role play.

The program has been well received by both children and their par­ents.

Parents were introduced to the basic theory and primary goals of the "Foundations of Democracy" program at a parent's night meeting. Through performances that children put on, par­ents were able to see how the concepts of the program were applied. A num­ber of parents have shown the desire and interest to further support and become more involved with the pro­gram.

It may be concluded that the con­cepts behind "responsibility," "authori­ty," "justice" and "privacy" have been fully embraced by these children and parents, barring some differences on the meaning of "authority." Within a very short period of time, children exhibited positive reactions to these concepts.

Prospects for the Further Development of Civic Education In the Republic Of

Macedonia The primary goals and the importance of implementing civic education in

pre-school and primary education were reviewed during the session, as was the need for further education of teaching staff, .the improvement and upgrading of curriculum, as well as the raising of citizen awareness for the need and impor­tance of civic education.

A strategy planning session on civic education was held in Skopje on 7th and 8th of May 2001. Participants included representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science, the Bureau for Educational Development, university professors, students, Parent Council representatives, primary school teachers, as well as representa­tives of the American Agency for International Development (USAID), the Center for Civic Education in Calabasas, California and the Catholic Relief Services/CRS-Macedonia.

The two-day session was an ideal opportunity for all participant partners involved in the implementation of civic education in Macedonia to review its present status, assess its achievements and to address the prob-

lems that arose during its implementa­tion.

The primary goals and the impor­tance of implementing civic education in pre-school and primary education were reviewed during the session, as was the need for further education of teaching staff, the improvement and upgrading of curriculum, as well as the raising of citizen awareness for the need and importance of civic educa­tion. Concrete action to reach these goals was suggested and possible sources to secure required funding was discussed.

course of the activity, the two groups maintained contact and exchanged infor­mation and experiences. By sharing fin­dings from their own communities, pupils learned to compare both the simi-1arities and differences in the nature of the problem, thus realizing that differ­ences need not be threatening, but can be a catalyst for a brighter future.

The "Peace Message" Contest From May 15th -30th, 2001, Catholic Relief Services (CRS), in cooper­

ation with the Bureau for Educational Development, promoted a poster draw­ing contest, inviting all sixth and seventh grade primary school pupils in the Republic of Macedonia to enter. The posters were to convey a "Peace Message."

The primary aim of the contest was to give pupils an opportunity to express their feelings, desires and thoughts on the need for peace through drawings that would convey a clear message to everyone: The need to live together in peace, irrespective of race, religion, nationality etc. Children's skillful hands were capable of speaking clearly and loudly.

Approximately 130 schools throughout Macedonia took part in the con­test and all the drawings received were exhibited at the Skopje City Museum.

The poster contest jury included many eminent public figures in the country: Klime Korobar, Rebeka, Ferid Muhic, Refet Abazi, Reshat Ahmeti, Vasko Todorov and Liljana Gjorgioska.

• First prize was awarded to "Maca Ovcarova" Public School in Veles. • Second prize was awarded to "Krume Kepeski" Public School in

Skopje. __ • Third prize was awarded to both "Kuzman J. Pitu" Primary School in

Skopje and "Sande Ste~oski" Public School in Kicevo. These schools received monetary rewards toward the purchase of teach­

ing aids for their schools.
