Private unlicenced schools

The opposition MPs and some of the majority asked a drastic increase of the fine for these subjects, and for verifying the inspection by the Ministry of Education, which has accepted that many high-schools and secondary schools in Albania are informal.

“There are 544 pre-university private education institutions in Albania, 38 of which have no license”, declared the Socialist MP, Ledi Shamku.

“We don’t exclude the possibility that there might be some. We are making the inspections, but this law gives us a very strong argument for closing their activities immediately”, declared the Deputy Minister of Education, Halit Shamata.

After many discussions, it was decided for the fine to increase, but not on the measure that was proposed by the chairman and vice chairman of the Media and Education Commission (500.000 to 1 million ALL), from 10.000 to 100.000 that it has been so far.

“With a severe sanction, they will think twice before opening a school without the proper license, while a 10.000-100.000 he wouldn’t even take in consideration. We have a mutual concern about the education quality and informality”, Leskaj declared.

During the debates for the new draft law for the pre-university education, the MPs asked for the school books prices to be approve through an open and transparent procedure.
