Berisha: Chinese as second obligatory foreign language

This is related with a suggestion that the pre-university education system must have as obligatory the learning of two foreign languages. The current law doesn’t have the second foreign language as obligatory, since this is an independent decision that can be taken by any school in Albania. PM Berisha, who speaks four foreign languages, spoke with passion about this novelty, to the point that he suggested Chinese as the second obligatory language, since the new world reality and the Chinese global influence will help the Albanians to communicate with the other people.

“The Albanians are born polyglots. No one has a speech apparatus that is more adoptable to the foreign languages, not only for the Anglo-Saxon and Neo-Latin language groups, but also for the Chinese and Slavic languages. And this is where the passion of the Albanians for the foreign languages derives. We must not forget that the Albanians are francophone, speak a fluent English and they should be more open to Spanish and German, but also to Chinese, as a second language”, Berisha declared.

According to the Prime Minister, the draft-law brings the best standards and bases education in three disciplines: Albanian grammar, literature and mathematics.

Rama reacts on Twitter

The opposition leader, Edi Rama, commented on Twitter about Berisha’s declaration:

“Let us learn Chinese to get saved, the ultimate invention of the Prime Minister, who combs his hair while Albania gets blocked by the snow”.

In another message, Rama says:

“We distributed aids in the blocked areas of Librazhd. The state was nowhere to be seen. The only means of survival was the human solidarity. A great thanks to the Socialist Mayors”.
