Prime Minister Edi Rama declared that focusing on education is vital for our country. During his speech at the activity “National Program of Professional Development of Teachers”, Rama said that the figure of the teacher should be strengthened and given strength, motivation and ability to face what time brings before the education system.
The head of the government underlined that in a few months, the average salary for teachers will reach 950 euros. According to him, doing everything to protect human capital, as he added that there will be different salary levels according to merit and contribution.
“I want to say that we will do everything we can, we will do the impossible, at this stage, to increase all the support for the school and for the teachers. Albania is today at another level, the salary increases are also a reflection, which will continue, while today we are in the conditions that we can put the potential of our country at the disposal of Albanian families, we face the need to release this potential, for qualified people.
We believe that we can succeed in this challenge, it is very big, it is very strong, and we can succeed if the governing body of the educational system is made available to this challenge.
Today, the teacher’s mission is no longer what it used to be. Today, the teacher’s mission is an Albania that grows together as it should tomorrow. I believe that the alliance with the partners who are invited today, the World Bank, is significant.
It has decided to give a significant part of the portfolio to education and digitization. Thanks to the support, we will have hundreds more smart labs in schools.
We have the EU, the ambassador spoke, and the EU today, realizing this need, great concern, has changed its approach and decided for a country that is not a member of the EU, new financial instruments, which were enjoyed by EU countries until yesterday.
With the new economic growth plan made by the EC for our countries, we will be able to make more finances available for economic growth and we will focus on education. It is the most strategic sector, it is the sector that guarantees how the future will be. ADF is an important partner for us, I hope that ADF will take an example from the Albanian Government and open its portfolio a little more.
I don’t want to forget UNICEF, which has a much more active approach than before, and the Open Society Foundation, Soros, which continues to help, although not as much as before. It helped Soros more when those who curse him were in power.
This is not a moment like all the others, this new program under the leadership of Ogerta, is not a program like all the others. It is a historical moment”, he emphasized.
