In the impossibility of quick adaptation and modernization of our society in every sphere, even in education, part of the challenges faced by all participants in the educational academic process are high administrative costs, lack of modern electronic payment methods, unfinished digitalization, long wait and queues in student affairs rooms, especially taking into account the KOVID pandemic, non-modernized infrastructure, non-adapted distance learning platforms, etc. Some of the problems faced by our students, but also the administrative services and the teaching staff, which were revealed to us during a number of interviews with them in the period November - December 2020 are: registration for exams, semesters, enrollment for years - only on the counters of the faculties; reports only in paper form and available only in bookstores where long queues are made during the short application deadlines; at some of the faculties, despite the possibility to complete the application electronically, the document is still necessary to be physically taken to student services; constant filling in of the same personal data in the applications (mother, father, data where they live, etc.), for all study years, for all exams; payments are made only in a bank, and payment slips in paper form, signed and stamped by the bank, are submitted in support of the applications; no possibility for payment on the spot (no POS installed), no possibility to submit a copy of electronic payment; students, although at the beginning of the year they pay 1,300 denars for registration and administration, still the applications for each exam, for semester verification, enrollment per year are paid 50 MKD; for lost application, a re-payment is made. There are also problems with the organization of the faculties - ie. there are no information - digital boards, no waiting system with numbers, everything goes in order, there is a mess and nervousness, there are no spatial possibilities for filling in documents / applications - the same is done on stairs, on walls, in front of Student Affairs; electronic file, although it exists, still the grades are entered in several places several times, even in the student index. At the same time, in addition to the challenges faced by students, administrative services also face overcrowding, low staffing, and inability to complete all obligations due to short student application deadlines, where mistakes are often made and duplicated. delays work. On the other hand, the teaching staff also faces challenges due to the unfinished digitalization and modernization of the faculties in terms of administrative procedures, filling in grades and data of students in many different places, which takes a lot of time. Although the iKnow platform is well conceived as a system, it is still not used to the maximum, improvements and improvements are still needed for its full use with all the advantages it offers. Additionally, the need to improve the working and learning conditions, the lack of electronic tools for organizing modern teaching and lectures, as well as the need for modern aids, equipment, digital boards in order to organize distance learning, especially in pandemic conditions, was pointed out. .

As of February 2016, Macedonia is in a small group of progressive countries that have adopted a more liberal attitude towards the cannabis plant (or better known as marijuana) and its products. Amendments to the Law on Control of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances have allowed the cultivation, processing and marketing of cannabis products. This change was intended to help treat several types of diagnoses, ie to facilitate the lives of people suffering from cancer, epilepsy and other diseases. The above-mentioned law is a good starting point for further liberalization of cannabis, ie the manner of its production, processing and sale, but that situation is far from ideal. It allows the existence of 2 types of economic operators, namely: manufacturers and processors. But in any case, to be part of one or the other operator, you need large financial resources. This situation means that entering the cannabis market is not allowed for everyone, ie. they are allowed only to big players and with that a big discrimination is made towards the ordinary Macedonian citizen. Today in RS Macedonia, about 59 legal entities are registered for cultivation and processing of cannabis, but all those companies are limited in the process of selling their products, due to lack of bylaws. On the other hand, the number of diagnoses for which cannabis treatment is allowed is limited to only 4 groups of diseases, while world experience shows that cannabis can be used to treat more than 100 different diagnoses. According to world and domestic analyzes, in each country, including Macedonia, the number of consumers is about 7%, or in our case it is about 100,000 citizens. This is a very interesting informal group that can be a great filler for the state budget.

In accordance with the Law on Employment and Insurance in Case of Unemployment, "an unemployed person is a person who is not employed, is actively looking for work and meets the conditions provided by this law." According to this law, the unemployed person is obliged to contact the Agency in person every 30 days and prove that he / she has been actively looking for a job in the last month. The unemployed person is entered in the records of the unemployed persons in the Employment Center on whose territory he / she has a permanent place of residence. This is a big problem for the unemployed because it exposes them to significant costs of time and money and additionally, during a pandemic, it can be dangerous for the health of the unemployed, but also for the employees of the Employment Agency. Additionally, if there is an inability to complete the obligation to apply within the specified period, the person loses all rights in case of unemployment and has no right to report to the Agency one year later. 

Applying for calls for student formitories is a complex process for students. In addition to completing the application, students must submit larger documentation, such as: certificate of being a student, certificate of planned and passed exams from previous years, certified form "UPPI", copy of diploma of completed high school education, statement of family status, statement from a parent, confirmation of the salary amount of the employed family members. Therefore, in addition to completing the application form for students to submit to the Ministry of Education and Science, they should also obtain documentation from the faculty, the Public Revenue Office, and prepare documentation for their family members. Completing the documentation is a challenge: for example, the documents of the faculty are signed only by the vice dean for teaching, but given that the competitions start on July 15, they are often on vacation during this period and the issuance of documentation by the faculty is prolonged. The service is available electronically through the portal konkursi.mon.gov.mk, where applicants can fill out an electronic application, but must attach the documentation (scanned), which in fact means digitalization only on the last step.
