Bujar Osmani, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Vice President of the BDI, commented on a proposal suggesting that the jurisprudence examination should feature a theoretical component in Albanian and a practical component in Macedonian. Osmani drew parallels between this proposed structure and educational developments during the early phases of pluralism in the country. In a public statement, Osmani recalled a specific instance from 1993.
He noted that in that year, following periods of conflict, two first-year classes were established in the Albanian language at the Secondary School of Medicine in Skopje, an event of which he was a participant. The proposed bilingual structure for the jurisprudence exam—theory in Albanian and practice in Macedonian—prompted Osmani’s reflection on historical precedents regarding the use of different languages in academic settings. His comments highlighted a recurring theme concerning the arrangement of academic requirements across various languages.
Osmani’s recollection of 1993 serves to frame his commentary on the current proposal, suggesting that the division of the exam’s content across different languages touches upon sensitive historical and linguistic considerations within the country’s educational framework. The focus remains on how the division of the examination’s parts across Albanian and Macedonian languages relates to past institutional arrangements.
