The members of the Media Commission, who are discussing the law of
pre-university education, debated if the performance of a teacher should
be valued by the grades of the students.
“We cannot value the teaching quality only by the grades. This could bring the degradation of the system. It is like firing the guardian for the remarks of the prisoner”, declared the Democratic Party MP, Mark Marku.
“The achievements are not related with the grades only. This is a terrain that is related with a system of internal and external evaluations”, declared Halit Shamata, Deputy Minister of Education.
“The low grades of the students are a responsibility of the teacher, but the teacher could never use low grades anymore, and that would incite fictive grades”, declared the Chairman of the Commission, Valentina Leskaj.
The MPs mentioned article 61, in which the opposition has asked the director of a school to fire teachers based on the Selective Commission, which is the one that appoints them. The opposition’s proposition was not taken in consideration.
In this law, for the first time, the teachers and school directors are not a competence of the Education Director, but are appointed by a Selective Commission, part of which are the teachers themselves.
