In Macedonia, Albanians teach that Illyrian tribes are Macedonians

“Professor, a clarification. It says here that there were Macedonian tribes, pellagonians, linchestra, horets, Enceleas, dasarets, does that mean they are peoples of the same age?

“Yes, it's a technical error, because you'll see later when we learn about Illyrian states and kingdoms, and we'll learn specifically about the kingdom of the Enceleeans, and that as evidence is not true”, the professor said.

Ilire tribes, endecleeds and Dasarettes, for first-year high school students in Macedonia, according to these texts, continue to remain Macedonian.

History professor Naser Miftari explains before students that tribes such as Enkeleedites and Dasarets are not Macedonian tribes but are Illyrian tribes. He says that in the same book, some pages of text are completely untranslated, have been left in Macedonian, respectively, while dedicating themselves to Albanian students.

“Requesting their withdrawal and requesting the publication of new texts, an expert commission should be established with which not only as text in view but it should change from its content and from its editorial aspect. The thickest mistakes are the editorial approach, in the text that needs to be worked, does not meet the criteria. The other error, incorrect information and add suspicion to the student and someone else”, the history professor said, Macedonia's TV21 reported.

Professor says that actual mistakes are no less in Geography. He adds that Macedonian Albanians there result in Macedonian descent, but with the arrival and rule of the Ottoman Empire, some of the Macedonians have accepted Islam and have gradually been Albanianised.

The chairman of the League of Albanian Believers, Nuhi Dardishta, requires new strategies and programmes, new books and that these students who teach have expired.

We seek new strategies, new programs, new texts, new books, that these have expired and that there are many mistakes. We seek primary and secondary education for the Ministry of Education to consult civil society, because we are the ones who make changes, not those same people of the ministry and commissions that don't change. It prefers to form the commission as of February and March, to compile those programmes and the first phase to start with new strategies from February”, the LAS chairman said.

For all these mistakes from the Ministry of Education, they just say they've sent the paperwork to the schools to address the ministry, and when they consider, to begin making them better.

“It is necessary to set up the initiative so that you can undertake something related to textbooks. The ministry issued paperwork to schools to enable teachers directly to declare mistakes in textbooks. The data will be processed to be seen further than the good guys will. Otherwise, it is currently being worked on changing the law on textbooks”, the Ministry of Education says.

The historical errors facing educators in the history and geography book are also inevitable in the book of civic culture, where Albanians are considered outdated and uncultural. Meanwhile, in the music text, Albanian students, in addition to learning songs translated by Macedonian and foreign composers, the motives of those songs speak of Tito's Yugoslav communism, in which the main heroes are partisans.
