As always, in celebration of the European Heritage Days, the Museum of Education organized activities centered around school students.

This year, based on the theme “Paths, Networks, and Connections,” we planned the game “Treasure Hunt” in collaboration with the fourth-grade class from “Sotir Gurra” school.

The game involved finding a cultural heritage object hidden in the museum, retrieved from the archives. To locate it, students had to complete several steps while learning about the history of the Mësonjëtorja and key figures who fought for the continuity of education. After discovering the object, there was a discussion on the protection, conservation, and sustainable transmission of heritage to future generations.

Moments from the activities of the students at the school “Naum Veqilharxhi” during the European Week of Sport.

The activities aim to:

1. Promote inclusivity;
2. Encourage and support students’ talents in various sports disciplines;
3. Motivate students to engage in physical activities;
4. Showcase the values of sports.

Despite the focus on these activities this week, sports events will continue with the same intensity and commitment throughout the school year, as they are an integral part of our students’ development and education, as well as supporting their talents and aspirations. Special thanks go to all the teachers at “Naum Veqilharxhi,” particularly the Physical Education teachers, for their dedication.

Following request no. 28 dated 19.09.2024 addressed to the Ministry of Education by FSASH and SPASH regarding the salary issue for teachers who graduated before the Bologna system came into effect, a meeting was held today, 23.09.2024, at the Ministry of Education and Sports at the request of the Minister. The meeting included Deputy Minister of Education Ms. Nina Guga, General Secretary Mr. Erzen Tola, and Director of Public Administration of the Republic of Albania Ms. Enkela Dudushi.

From the unions’ side, present were the President of SPASH Mr. Nevrus Kaptelli, Lawyer Ms. Matilda Zani, and FSASH Representative Mr. Xhafer Dobrushi. Representatives from the Ministry argued that the reduction made in the salary group based on the diploma has been reflected by a twofold increase in the position salary for this category, which every teacher can see by comparing their salary increase with that of other teachers who hold a master’s degree.

During the several-hour meeting, after insistence from the union representatives that all teachers who graduated before the Bologna system should be treated with an additional 14,000 Lekë in their salary group, it was agreed that after reviewing diplomas on a case-by-case basis, the corresponding payment of 14,000 Lekë would be made.

SPASH calls on all its leaders in regional education offices to look out for their members, to identify, and to initiate solutions for all those teachers who have not been paid in accordance with Decision No. 425 dated 26.06.2024.

The Minister of Education and Sports, Ogerta Manastirliu, at the “Sami Frashëri” high school, announced the start of the process for selecting teachers who meet the criteria for two new roles that will be implemented in schools across the country: Career Guidance Coordinator and Quality Assurance Coordinator in schools.

These new positions will be key pillars in supporting students with career guidance and improving the quality of teaching.

“The new roles we have introduced this year are two positions that will immediately be filled by selecting 640 school quality assessment coordinators and career coordinators throughout our education system. This year, 4,635 students have enrolled in vocational education, 10% more than the previous year. This is a crucial moment for the education system if it takes this strategic direction of continuous student guidance, not only for the education system but also for career development that begins in lower-level education,” said Minister of Education and Sports, Ogerta Manastirliu.

Minister Manastirliu also highlighted the role of the Career Coordinator Teacher, who will play a crucial role in assisting students in making informed choices about their academic and professional futures.
