Abstract
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is a very important organization in providing insight into the impact of educational reforms in a country since it offers good co-operation opportunities between member states whose governments can compare experiences of their educational policies to seek out and identify best practices. According to the organization, the success of educational reforms is demonstrated by the international PISA test conducted with 15-year old students. However, despite the success and failure of students in the PISA test, the benefits of educational reforms can still be seen in various aspects. This paper describes the role of the OECD in educational reforms in general and the benefits of educational reforms in Kosovo based on the research “Concepts of Citizenship in Students of Primary Schools in Kosovo”, despite the poor performance of Kosovar students in the PISA international test.

On the African continent, countries are awash with counterfeit and knock-off goods
As we have indicated in the introduction, the reason why authentic materials incite motivation in learners and why contrived texts pale in comparison could lie in the fact that English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context is learner-centered and its primary goal is to achieve communicative competence in language learners
We have found that authentic texts are not beneficial for all language skills and that contrived texts should still be preferred over authentic texts when it comes to reading comprehension or grammar instruction
Summary
On the African continent, countries are awash with counterfeit and knock-off goods. South Africa as a thriving economy is not exempted from the counterfeit menace (South African Institute of Intellectual Property Law, 2015). An important role in describing educational reforms and their impact in our present times has been played by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) which provides a good opportunity to compare and evaluate the work of teachers and even the success of students. In the West, there exists a multitude of definitions of the “self”, whereas in the East the predominant view is that the self is rather an illusion Taking this is in consideration, the issue of the status of the human self requires a new linguistic-philosophical analysis in the light of both contemporary science and philosophy. The presentation on the topic does not claim to analyze the reasons for the emergence of these forms, but aims to interpret and place them in the context of postmodern culture, as well as to emphasize their importance for activating civic position, expanding worldview in social development, which lacks the required level of citizenship.
