The new academic year starts on Monday. Prerequisite for admission to universities. Artan Hoxha, rector of the University of Tirana said today that no student who has not been vaccinated, does not submit the PCR test or the doctor’s recommendation for reasons not to inject the dose will not be allowed to enter the university premises. But how many students have been vaccinated so far?
“If we take the numbers of students who answered the questionnaire we sent, the questionnaire was sent to over 30% of students, over 50% of them are vaccinated.
The University of Tirana has over 20 thousand students. We are talking about a very large number. I do not think that the interest has been low, but they have not come yet, with the exception of those in Tirana. “First-year students are almost vaccinated,” he said.
But why not offer online tuition for students who refuse to be vaccinated?
“I will answer the question with two moments, the first is absolutely online learning has improved, but we have students who after 2 years do not notify the university from the physical point of view, they have no contacts. The second one we have in the master, one and two year olds ends a whole generation that have no contact with the audience.
Auditorium teaching is not a substitute. As for the alternative, you should know that there are two commands, the first being that online learning can be alternated. The same point, however, removes the platform as an opportunity and says that students must present the certificate or vaccination card.
We will look at the process and make decisions in favor of their well-being and health, but also not to allow students to miss the development of the academic year program. “This will be decided after we look at the situation we will face,” he said.
The new academic year will start on October 18 for “Bachelor” and on November 10 for “Master”./abcnews.al
