What happened in 2007?
Global Action Week in Macedonia was filled with joy and satisfaction with more that 20,000 children forming the human chains, in solidarity for the 18,000 children who are out of school in the country. During the week, pupils from all primary schools in Macedonia prepared dossiers which included drawings, written songs and essays. A television programme was prepared and distributed for broadcast in four national and five local stations. The programme was made in Macedonian, Albanian and Roma languages; on the subject 'I don't go to school'. Children visited the President of the Republic of Macedonia, Mr. Branko Crvenkovski, the Vice President of the Assembly and the State Secretary of Education, and reminded them of their promises made in 2005. During the main event in the capital Skopje, a helicopter circled over the Human Chain, distributing flyers. The children were carrying hats inscribed 'JOIN UP! Education Rights Now!' and were also cutting paperchains to represent their friends who are out of school. The Prime Minister, Mr. Nikola Gruevski, attended and signed a guarantee of Education for All.
