GLOBE IN MACEDONIAN SCHOOLS
Agreement for Macedonia's accession, on August 24, 1998
GLOBE builds excitement about science, math, and advanced technology among young people
Fifteen Macedonian schools are involved in this program, and they incorporated the GLOBE protocols into regular subjects, which is a big success for the teachers and the students as well.
What is the benefit of Globe program?
Who is involved in realization of Globe protocols?
GLOBE's impact on the teachers
GLOBE students also access these data for classroom studies, research, student-scientist partnerships, and worldwide school-to-school collaborations.
GLOBE students have collected and entered more than 17 million data worldwide for their use as well as by scientists studying the Earth system
GLOBE's impact on students and their teachers
Collaboration between students, teachers, local community, citizens, Ministry of education, Ministry of environment and psychical planning
