Students in a Macedonian school in the town of Struga are protesting a decision to have the class schedule "ethnically divided", and are boycotting classes. Niko Nestor high school students of Albanian ethnicity have been told to attend classes in the morning, while Macedonian students should go to school in the afternoon. Macedonian school has "ethnic class schedule" The students and their parents say they do not accept Principal Mara Savevska's explanation that the decision was taken after several incidents that took place in the school. They also refuse to believe that the separation pertains to the students' language rather than their ethnicity, and think that "politics is at work". A board of parents and students requested joint classes and held meetings with local and government officials. The Macedonian government in its last session looked into the issue, and also considered a decision to build a new school next year that would be attended only by ethnic Albanians. Government spokesman Shefik Duraku said that the government does not wish to introduce ethnic divisions but that "there isn’t enough room at the school". The principal is meantime sticking to her guns, and has gained support from Macedonian members of the teaching staff. Most of some 950 Albanian-language students attended classes "in their afternoon shift", but most of the 720 Macedonians did not show up at the school in the morning.
