NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR INFORMATION SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT AND ACTION PLAN 42 Promoting the ICT-areas certified knowledge concept. Encouraging the use of European and national certificates through including the commitment for owning certificates for ICT-literacy as an obligatory element in the process of employment in the civil service (such as, through the Civil Servants Agency). Determining the minimum elements to be contained in the certificate and opening the space for competitive presence of national and European certificate-programmes. Creating the ICT-literature in Macedonian language and in other local languages in areas with the appropriate legal framework. One of the measures that will have positive impact on increasing the ICT-literacy of the citizens will be the creation of a literature in Macedonian language and in other local languages, which will facilitate the access of the beneficiaries to the information related to methods of ICT use and its advantages. It is necessary to define measures that will encourage the creation of ICT-literature, such as: tax relieves for its publishing and increasing the motivation for the authors through regulation and appropriate enforcement of the Law on Copyright and Related Rights. Encouraging the creation and use of digital information - library funds and areas related to education: museums etc. The existing library and museum collections in Macedonia perform their educational function in a predominantly traditional way. The new standards and trends in these areas impose intensive ICT use in the operations of the institutions themselves, and especially as regards the performing of their educational function; digitalisation and interoperability of the National and of the University library, and the local libraries. Encouraging the creation and use of digital contents as teaching tools (multimedia and Multilanguage) in the primary and secondary education ICT use in the educational process is the key factor for fast and efficient transformation towards an education which has the student in its centre, and whose objectives refer to obtaining participatory experience during the learning process. ICT-contents encourage the interactivity, creativity and participation at students, and in many cases represent the only answer to the challenges in order to meet the up to date language and methodological standards. Macedonian explanatory vocabulary The lack of standardisation for explaining the different phrases related to the ICT field, which we daily encounter, creates confusion and makes its implementation more difficult. Through the implementation of a project such as this one, a public debate would be opened for defining the standards regarding all phrases that are ICT-related, as well as regarding their explanation in Macedonian language and in other local languages in areas with appropriate legal framework for that purpose.
