The Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, presented a report for the
teaching quality in the pre-university level. Rama said that the
government has undertaken to make radical changes in education.
“We are facing alarming results for education and our society, which has put us in front of a huge responsibility. The education reform has entered a process without return, and it should continue”, Rama declared.
The Prime Minister underlined that the future of hundreds of children is threatened, because it has been left on the hands of teachers that don’t have the respective education or diploma.
“The current education system is unacceptable for an EU candidate country. We need a revolution, because this is the future of Albania for the next 20-30 years”, Rama declared.
The Prime Minister was very harsh and said that the School Directors with teachers without diplomas will be fired and will be criminally reported.
Rama added that they will end the application of Altertext system, which allows schools to chose different types of textbooks.
The Minister of Education, Lindita Nikolla, promised that students will have the tachers they deserve and that this situation should not continue anymore.
Our inspections in the pre-university system showed dozens of cases when teachers have been uncertified. We must work harder to change the situation”, Nikolla declared.
“The government has prepared a four-point strategy for leaving this situation. Our purpose is to clean the system, and this will be achieved by the end of the year. We will clean the system from teachers outside of their profiles, of teachers who are paid but they do not teach, while the fourth point is that of including the licensing system for all teachers”.
All teachers will also have credit points that will measure their performance.
