In less than a month, on May 27th, 15,620 high school students who registered to take the state graduation exam should be tested after the first external exam – Mother tongue (Macedonian, Albanian, Turkish) and literature, and the final exam will be uncertain because more than the general strike of the employees of the State Examination Center (SEC) has been going on for a week.
Twenty-nine SEC employees are on a general strike because they did not receive approval from the Ministry of Finance on their request for a salary increase. They are demanding higher wages that have not been increased even after the minimum wage was raised again, which led to the equalization of wages for different job positions.
