e-Schools is a project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which is using the computers donated by the Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC), in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Macedonia (MoES), to introduce a new concept of information and communication technology use in education.

The E-School.mk project began with installation of computer labs in all 91 secondary schools in the Republic of Macedonia. Each of these schools is identified with the E-School-the link of tomorrow logo and can be clearly recognized by the unique colors of the E-School computer lab, that the students and teachers painted using their own creativity.

The following step was to improve the quality and relevance of teaching, using ICT applications that facilitate communication, networking and interaction among the teachers and the students. In this respect, series of trainings were conducted for 2 teachers from each secondary school, focusing on use of ICT through project based learning strategies and networking. As a result of the first round of training, each school team developed a school based project including students and other teachers. The common thread for all projects was the use of ICT in a variety of topics, addressing different needs from the school and the community. This cohort of 180 teachers that finished their second round of training in August 2005, now serves as the core group of trained teachers that are further disseminating their skills and knowledge in use of ICT to a greater number of teachers in their respective schools.

The E-School.mk project is actively involved in all primary schools as well, by successfully installing computers in 360 primary school facilities. Series of trainings will follow for primary school teachers, enabling them to use, apply and integrate ICT in their daily work with the students.

The E-School.mk project is also in a process of developing an education portal that will link the teachers and the students in a virtual working environment. The education portal would provide on-line resources for the school directors, teachers and the students and would enable them to easily share their experiences and practices. The education portal will mark the beginning of a new quality of the education system in Macedonia, thus bringing it closer to the modern education trends and practices in the world.

The Ministry of Education and Science, as well as the Bureau for Development of Education are closely involved in all trainings and activities and are providing direct support both to the E-School.mk project team members and the teachers as well, ensuring that the quality of education in Macedonia is improved by integrating the use of ICT into the teaching process.
