Mathematics teacher Leonidha Fuqi at the “Themistokli Gërmenji” school introduces an innovation in the field of math teaching. This innovation is tied to the fact that mathematics is now part of the digital curriculum. When asked about this platform, Leonidha Fuqi stated, “I believe students should be familiar with digital platforms as they will need them during and after their studies. I think there should be two or three hours after each chapter to cover topics in this way.”

Thus, when there is a passion for work, anyone can bring innovation in any direction, and Leonidha Fuqi is one of those dedicated to serving the students.

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.

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.
