Until 1991, when the area belonged to Yugoslavia, the
education system was mainly focused on science subjects and
in preparation for the labor market. After the country's
independence, education was substantially reformed. Check topschoolsintheusa for test centers of ACT, SAT, and GRE as well high schools in the country of Macedonia.
Today, the education system includes preschool (up to six
years of age), primary school (grades 1-9), upper secondary
education (three to four years) or vocational education (two
to four years) and higher education. Grades 1–9 are
compulsory. After primary school, young people can choose
general upper secondary education, vocational education or
artistic education.
13 percent of pupils in primary and secondary school
attend private schools. Northern Macedonia has joined the
Bologna principles. This means that higher education is
divided into three levels: basic education (three years),
master's program (one to two years) and postgraduate
education (three to four years). In 2015, 65,000 students
attended higher education. 55 percent of them were women and
45 percent were men.
