(You can read the report from this event [12], [13])
Implementation of the project "Macedonian Wikipedia" will increase the
number of articles related to Macedonia on Wikipedia and the increasing
use of free content available on the Internet in the teaching process in
state and private educational institutions in Macedonia. Ministry of
Education and Science is the sponsor of the project "Macedonia on
Wikipedia".
Students were processed on average 3-4 quality articles related to their
study, that made hundreds of new and quality articles. It is interesting
to note that students from FSNT have been working on the Macedonian and
Albanian Wikipedia, which gives a special dimension to the project
because it allows students from other linguistic communities to
contribute to their native language.
The best students were promoted after evaluation of their mentors, and
committee of deans of both faculties and a representative of the Working
Group of the Ministry of Education and Science established for the
project "Macedonia on Wikipedia." The Deputy Minister gave the students
first, second and third prize.
The following students were awarded: Bisera Dugalicstudent at FINKI -
first prize, Ljiridon Selmani student at FSNT - second prize and Drini
Aliu student at FSNT - third prize. These awards will contribute towards
these students in earning a scholarship from the Ministry of Education
and Science. The process of awarding is an important component of the
project, which pays tribute to hardworking students for their work.
In future the project should be extended to other faculties of all
universities, secondary schools and later primary schools. Experiences
from the project of these two faculties in the future we will implement
to the other faculties.
