115 years ago, in December 1909, by decision of the ‘Elbasan Congress’, the Elbasan Normal School was opened, the first and only institution then to train teachers who would later teach the Albanian language to all Albanian-speaking lands.
The most important documents and objects of the time are preserved in the museum of the Normal School, today called the “Luigj Gurakuqi” school.
The former teachers of the Normal School still retain the beautiful memories of that time when, as they say, the school had more authority.
In memory of this important date for Elbasan, an event was held at the “Skampa” theater in the city, which began with the anthem of the Normal School and ended with the awarding of the titles “Honorary Citizen” to the former students.
The Elbasan Normal School holds the golden title “Honor of the Nation” awarded by the President of Albania in 2014.
