As rarely before, the Parliament voted with unanimity a draft law that
requires simple majority. This was the education law. According to the
Parliamentary Commission for Education and Public Information Means, the
draft law fulfills all standards.
“What it worth mentioning is the number of articles that have been amended, 41 of 72 in total, which approaches the law to the countries where we want to be integrated”, declared the Chairman of the Commission, Valentina Leskaj.
“The Ministry officials were open to discuss and improve the law, making it one of the best planned law for the education in Albania”, declared the vice chairman, the Democratic MP, Mark Marku.
The law received 116 votes in favor, none against and no abstains. But regardless the consensual spirit that characterize the approval of this law, there were debates and accusations, especially regarding the “altertext”, the right of schools to chose the textbooks individually, and the usage of the funds for libraries.
“The Publishing House 55 has supplied books to more than half of the libraries in Elbasan and Korca. Books with authors like Fahri Balliu, books like “Black Pantheon”, “The Black Lady, Nexhmie Hoxha”, “Berisha among the Cassandras”. Would you allow your kids to read these books, Mr. Minister?”, declared the Socialist MP, Erjon Brace.
The Minister responded by saying that there are more than 22 publishing entities in the market, and more than 30 for the libraries.
The Socialist MP, Taulant Balla, accused PM Berisha’s adviser, Bardhyl Musai, that he has imposed schools to buy the book where he is an author, a book that has been published by his Publishing House. But the debate degraded when the Parliament Speaker asked the Socialist MPs to give her the book written by the Socialist leader, Edi Rama, titled “Kurban”.
