Summary/Abstract: Pedagogy, as in the past, so in the present, but also in the future, has been subjected to and undergoing many changes, because society is progressing at a tremendous pace, and as a social science it has the task of keeping pace with the changes and ensuring that it educates the participants in a way that will enable them to function more easily in the society in which they live. Today, when enrolling children in elementary education, an assessment is made by the Professional Service, whereby the expert associate decides whether the child is ready to acquire the status "pupil". This assessment is of paramount importance both for pedagogy as a science and for the further holistic development of children. This paper deals with the pedagogical problem that refers to the assessment of the development of children when enrolling in primary education, carried out by pedagogues and members of the Professional Service in the Republic of Macedonia.
