state-run Sts Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje

The Macedonian students organization, the Students Plenum, has announced new actions against government plans to introduce "external testing" for graduates after it became apparent that the government would not abandon the plan.

Students who organized a mass march on Monday against government-proposed "state exams" - a form of state supervised external test conducted by the education ministry - say they are ready to take the streets again if the ministry fails to hear their cry.
