Currently, no secondary school subjects cover civic education. The Macedonian Street Law team seeks to address this. They aim to develop long-term human rights and democracy awareness through the medium of civic education in the classroom.

The primary objectives of the Street Law program in Macedonia are to:
1. Publish a Street Law textbook and teacher's manual in both Albanian and Macedonian.
2. Train 15 teachers and produce a manual for this purpose.
3. Conduct training-of-trainers seminars and develop a manual specific to training-of-trainers.
4. Teach more than 400 students from 5 secondary schools.

The methods used to implement the Street Law program will consist of trainings and evaluations.

The evaluations will include questionnaires for participating teachers and students so as to allow both qualitative and quantitative statistical analysis. Results will be publicized through the mass media.

Organizations involved include the Open Society Institute National Foundation, and the American Bar Association Central and Eastern European Law Initiative (ABA CEELI). The Street Law team is in the process of establishing working relationships with other NGOs, as well as lobbying the Ministry of Education.
