Ministrstvo za izobraževanje, znanost in šport Republike Slovenije in Ministrstvo za izobraževanje in znanost Republike Makedonije, v nadaljnjem besedilu ''pogodbenika'', sta se v želji, da se razvija in poglablja sodelovanje na področju izobraževanja med Republiko Slovenijo in Republiko Makedonijo, v prepričanju, da bo tako sodelovanje pripomoglo k boljšemu razumevanju in krepitvi vsestranskih odnosov med državama, na podlagi Sporazuma o sodelovanju na področju izobraževanja, kulture in znanosti med Vlado Republike Slovenije in Vlado Republike Makedonije, ki je bil podpisan 8. julija 1993 v Ljubljani, dogovorili:

Pogodbenika v skladu s cilji tega protokola razvijata medsebojno sodelovanje na področju osnovnega, srednjega in terciarnega izobraževanja ter zaradi tega podpirata neposredno sodelovanje in stike med izobraževalnimi zavodi.

Učenci, državljani države enega od pogodbenikov, ki živijo na ozemlju države drugega pogodbenika, imajo pravico obiskovati osnovno šolo in se pripravljati nanjo pod enakimi pogoji kot državljani države, na ozemlju katere živijo. Pogodbenika soglašata, da se njuni državljani v državi drugega pogodbenika vpisujejo v sekundarno izobraževanje po notranji zakonodaji tega pogodbenika. Pogodbenika soglašata, da za študente, državljane drugega pogodbenika, glede plačila šolnine za terciarno izobraževanje veljajo enaka merila kot za domače študente. Glede študija in urejanja drugih zadev v terciarnem izobraževanju se uporabljajo načela avtonomije zavodov. Pogodbenika podpirata uvedbo skupnih podiplomskih študijev med zainteresiranimi visokošolskimi zavodi na področjih, ki so obojestransko zanimiva. Zagotovita vso potrebno pomoč za izpolnitev potrebnih pogojev za začetek skupnih študijev v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo.

Pogodbenika si letno izmenjata do štiriindvajset

Štipendisti imajo zagotovljeno bivanje in druge subvencije ter mesečno štipendijo v znesku, določenem z notranjo zakonodajo vsakega pogodbenika. O strukturi in višini štipendij ter drugih pogojih se pogodbenika obveščata letno.

Pogodbenika soglašata, da najpozneje do konca junija vsako leto obvestita drugega pogodbenika o številu študentov, državljanov drugega pogodbenika, ki so se vpisali v preteklem študijskem letu.

Pogodbenika krepita medsebojno sodelovanje na področju izobraževanja zlasti zaradi izmenjave izkušenj pri reformi izobraževalnega sistema kot dela procesa stabilizacije in pridruževanja Evropski uniji ter s tem namenom neposredno ali v okviru večstranskih programov sodelujeta pri različnih projektih, ki so obojestransko zanimivi. Pogodbenika še posebej podpirata medsebojno sodelovanje na področju visokega šolstva v okviru večstranskih programov Evropske unije in regionalnega programa CEEPUS.

Pogodbenika spodbujata neposredno sodelovanje zainteresiranih organizacij in posameznikov znotraj večstranskih organizacij in mrež na področju izobraževanja.

Pogodbenika spodbujata poučevanje jezika in spoznavanje književnosti druge države. Pogodbenika podpirata razvoj in napredek poučevanja maternega jezika in kulture za otroke, pripadnike slovenske skupnosti v Republiki Makedoniji oziroma pripadnike makedonske skupnosti v Republiki Sloveniji.

Pogodbenika podpirata uvajanje informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologij v izobraževalne sisteme in izmenjavo dobrih praks.

Zaradi spremljanja izvajanja protokola sta pogodbenika sklenila ustanoviti skupni odbor, sestavljen iz enakega števila predstavnikov obeh pogodbenikov. Sestanki skupnega odbora potekajo po potrebi na zaprosilo enega od pogodbenikov izmenoma v Republiki Sloveniji in Republiki Makedoniji.

Vse oblike sodelovanja potekajo v skladu z notranjo zakonodajo pogodbenikov.

Pogodbenika lahko kadar koli predlagata spremembe tega protokola. Taki predlogi sprememb se drugemu pogodbeniku sporočajo po diplomatski poti. Spremembe začnejo veljati v skladu s postopkom iz prvega odstavka 13. člena.

Pogodbenika vsa morebitna druga odprta vprašanja, ki so v njuni pristojnosti, rešujeta sporazumno po diplomatski poti. Pogodbenika si prizadevata sporazumno rešiti vse nesporazume glede razlage ali izvajanja tega protokola.

Pogodbenika protokol začasno uporabljata z dnem podpisa. Veljati začne z dnem prejema zadnjega uradnega pisnega obvestila po diplomatski poti, s katerim se pogodbenika uradno obvestita o dokončanju notranjih postopkov, potrebnih za začetek veljavnosti tega protokola. Protokol se uporablja pet študijskih let po začetku veljavnosti in se samodejno podaljšuje za nadaljnja petletna obdobja, razen če eden od pogodbenikov šest mesecev prej pisno ne obvesti drugega pogodbenika, da ga namerava odpovedati. Protokol velja največ do konca študijskega leta, v katerem Republika Makedonija postane polnopravna članica Evropske unije. Prenehanje tega protokola ne vpliva na že začete programe in projekte po tem protokolu, ki ob njegovem prenehanju še niso v celoti dokončani, razen če se pogodbenika ne dogovorita drugače. V potrditev tega sta podpisana, ki sta bila za to pravilno pooblaščena, podpisala ta protokol. Sklenjeno v Ljubljani 23. februarja 2016 v dveh izvirnikih v angleškem jeziku.

Za izvajanje protokola skrbi ministrstvo, pristojno za izobraževanje.
