According to the legislation and the curriculum for the nine-year primary education for the academic year 2020/2021 (Bureau for Development and Promotion of Upbringing and Education), it can be noticed that the subject Macedonian Language for students from other communities starts from the fourth grade – 72 hours (4th, 5th, 8th and 9th grade) and 108 hours (6th and 7th grade) per year. Our analysis will focus on this subject. On the one hand, textbooks for the subject Macedonian Language for students from other communities will be reviewed, and, on the other hand, our thoughts regarding the Macedonian language as the second, i.e. as the language of the environment in which this target group of students lives, will be provided.
