The government’s decision which forces students to pay additional fees for entering an exam after failing the first time was received with protests by students, but the cause for their anger may be deeper.

Official data from the Institution of Statistics show that the spending of Albanian families for education has increased twice.

In 2015, families would spend 2.1% of the budget for education. Last year it jumped at 3.9.

This makes Albania one of the countries where families sacrifice more for educating their children.

In average in the EU is 1.1%, almost four times less than in Albania.
