OPINION: By Hansi KapllaniThe University of Korçë sacrifices itself to join the University of Tirana!Meanwhile, on the one hand, this news is given, and on the other hand, after all these years, the real controllers of UniKo’s funds come to the surface.Absurdity catches the edges!One party announces the academic capitulation, which was most likely imposed by the central education policies of the government and the ministry.The other party sheds crocodile tears for this development, as if it fell like a bolt from the sky.In fact, no one sees the problem in the eyes and everyone has avoided the solution that time forced.The primary interest of these parties is not students, education, scientific research, the good name of Korçë, but tenders, projects, financial control, influence, employment, etc.Yes, Korça should have a university!No, Korça should not have a university in these standards it has now.Many people start their analysis with Mesonjetora to continue at UniKo.They forget that the university is not an ordinary school and that we lack tradition in this regard.The university is the place where knowledge, ideas, science, theses, antitheses, theories, inventions, research, etc. are produced.By conceiving the university as a continuation of the learning system, a very big mistake is made.Why Korça and Korçare elite failed to maintain and create a university?It failed because the university was never the environment where the purest principles of science, meritocracy, knowledge and education prevailed.The university became home to petty parties and interests, defeating its primary purpose.The initial zeal faded and the search fell to ridiculous levels.The skilled are shunned by the unskilled.If we look at every sector of the economy, those who are afraid of the market are mediocre.They hide behind titles and offices.Who is the solution?First, we must agree on a very simple principle, which is an economic principle.There can be no quality and university without money.The university in every country of the world is made either by those who really have a certain level of education or by those who pay the real cost of it.Free university and bernut for every Tutku who does not know how to write his name cannot have it.So the University must submit to the market.As the people say, a little and exactly, not a lot and for the river.The university is not necessary but elite and should remain as such.With the implementation of this principle, the salaries of the academic staff also increase with the aim of bringing closer those who are truly academic and priority areas are set.Funds for research are increased and the best practices of the literature are also brought.We don’t need to reinvent the wheel. This should be done with a Public-Private partnership and open an international competition not only for the University of Korce but for all the Universities in the districts.The state can be a co-financier and shareholder in these organizations for the purpose of reimbursement of costs, but not imposing.After this fair and transparent process, you will be able to see a university with European standards.In these new institutions, the criterion will be academic performance, without which they cannot survive.The French high school in Korce was a success story after the centuries-old practices of French education were brought.Students were prepared for the European market and elites were formed there.There was no place for the mediocre, and whoever graduated from this high school could enter any university in Europe without a problem.Korca was not the capital in those years, however, students from all over Albania came to Korca for the quality education they received.Well, this high school was closed with the communists.Centralization and collection in one hand is a communist feature that is still applied today.Union with Tirana hasty, temporary and not long-term.It just deepens the problem.

So much respect and gratitude for these esteemed teachers. How much longing and nostalgia for this excellent generation of teachers, who remain deep in the heart of those generations, producing excellent students.How proud we are of you, dear teacher.This photo comes from 1980, while the names and subjects given by these teachers are:From left to standing: Fitrete Pëllumbi (Geography), Celnike Myrtollari (Physical Culture), Roza Molla (French), Dhorkë Lluka (Albanian Language)Seated from left: Nikoleta Luarasi (Physical Culture), Shpresa Ceta (English), Olimbi Matraku (Russian), Drita Mitrushi (Chemistry), Arjana Rapi (Physics).Men from left to top: Robert Petro (Mathematics), Gaqo Mindili (Russian), Maksim Jorgji (Mathematics), Andrea Spaho (Geography), Skënder Stefanllari (Literature), Niko Pani (Physical Education), Ligor Luarasi (Biology), Pandi Kërënxhi (Mathematics), Anastas Përdhiku (Party History), Gaqo Toslluku (Physics).Seated in front: Dhimitraq Bode (History), Anesti Tasho (Knowledge of Cars), Niko Mustaka (Literature), Dhori Gërdhe (School Secretary), Teodor Vaso (Physical Culture), Anesti Polena (Literature), Luan Veliaj (Military and vice principal of the school) .Respect, really, endless respect for you, dear teacher…

On this Tuesday morning, the “Fan S. Noli” university “advertised” itself by posting on its official website what we are showing below. In a way, it is an advertisement for the university, since the leaders themselves have decided to highlight the value of the lecturers:Here is the full post of “Fan S.

The rector of the University of Korça, Dhimitër Bello, has resigned from his position.The unexpected decision comes just one day after rector Bello appeared in a press conference where he announced that the senate of this university only two days ago decided to merge the university of Korça with that of Tirana, a decision that according to him was voted by 100% of the lecturers of this senate.The Rector of the University, for the announcement he made public, caused a wide reaction and many reactions, in the face of which he resigned.

A few hours ago, the “Korça Boom” portal was the first to publish the news of non-payment of salaries by more than 100 teachers in the Korça district, even though days have passed.In these moments, “Korça Boom” learns exclusively that it is not only the teachers of Korça, but also hundreds of other teachers of ZVA Maliq who have not yet received their salary.In this way, the scandal becomes even bigger.The teachers themselves claim that they receive their salary from BKT Bank, which proves once and for all that the fault is not the banks, but the Government itself and specifically the Ministry of Education, which does not know how to manage the salaries of the administration .Such a shame had never happened before and this scandal should be resolved immediately, while ZVA Korçë-Pustec and ZVA Maliq should come out in a statement, where not only should they resolve this situation as soon as possible, but they should they apologize to the teachers, who have not yet brought their children’s bread to their families.More shame than that he has nowhere to go.Shame, really shame…!
