Statement of the day– Carovska: Sex education in second grade is fake news, official information should be followed
-It is very interesting that debates are led by people who are continuously spreading fake news in our country. Precisely because of this, I encourage citizens to follow official channels of the government and the ministries, and then to make decisions. If you recall, it was the same people who used to say that 120,000 migrants would settle in the eastern region, do you remember how that fake news failed, and then there was also something about 5G and the birds and so on, and then the next fake news was that the subject history was being abolished, and then the next fake news was that the Macedonian language was being abolished. Those same people today are saying that we will have sex education in the second grade, using images, photos of different countries, which are in the region and several years did such a thing, but in our country this is not true, said Carovska, who was in Stip today at a debate on the reform of secondary vocational education.
