About 150 professors, students and citizens that support them, with candles in hand gathered tonight before the Assembly to bury higher education. The funeral of higher education started half an hour after MPs adopted amendments to the Law on higher education.
Members of the plenums say the decision for the funeral of higher education to take place before the Assembly is symbolic because this institution remained deaf to their demands to develop new systematic law.
At the lawn in front of the Assembly, professors set obituaries for the higher education, cross and candles.
– We think this is an expression of unprecedented arrogance, disrespect of the demands of the academic community and the students who repeatedly mass went out to the streets demanding the law to be withdrawn. Now we wait for the head of the state not to sign the decree for declaration of this law – said Ivan Nikolovski, student of the Faculty of Law.
