Zogiani counts on the many problems that education today has in Fushe-Kosovo, leaves the blame for misgovernance

He has said that Fushe-Kosovo will expect another difficult school year because of the Communist's irresponsability.

Among the biggest problems, according to him, is the fact that classrooms are overloaded, then the lack of proper qualifications for teachers, the appointment of controllers, infrastructure, etc.

Vetevendosje thinks the first step to be taken in education, as well as in other areas, should be to establish a responsibility, an account at all levels, a professional standards control system, an examination of education workers, and a rationalisation of municipality spending in order to increase investments in education. He wrote.

Government-Kosovo hosts another difficult school year because of the municipality's irresponsibilities

Fushe-Kosovo begins a very difficult school year with many problems and almost without the effort of the municipality to improve this sector. With an average note of about 2 (two) this municipality today has lost the opportunity to be competitive even in Kosovo and to leave it at a broader range. Most of the problems the education system in Fushe-Kosovo has today are directly the result of non-employment, or the wrong actions of municipal administration, respectively. Just because of a lack of account, some may not even start teaching in the first week, since only by the end of this week has their painting started, which requires at least a week.

The biggest problem of this municipality is that classrooms are overloaded, some even forced to teach up to 50 students in one class.

The other problem is the lack of proper qualifications for teachers at all school levels, where nepotism by municipal administration has played a huge role. Almost every director has family members employed in the field of education, and some have even exploited their position to obtain a degree from institutions for higher education with the aim of employing their members in the education sector.

The appointment of co-ordinators for quality in education is wrongly, nepotic and with strong party influence, which does not guarantee that there will be an independent verification of quality in education.

Fushe-Kosovo is far from putting new curriculum into practice because there are big administrative problems and teachers are not professionally prepared.

A lot of schools smell bad (Mihail Gameno, Great Bardi, etc) because they have no water or adequate sewers and so the bathrooms cannot be cleaned, while a considerable portion of them do not have enough food even though the municipality buys on average 40,000 euros a year, which is significantly dedicated to schools but not rarely end up being overly cleaned by the winners of the tenders.

At least one school in Fushe-Kosovo (exactly in the village of Henc) is dangerous for student health, because its construction has not had adequate oversight from the municipality and as a result, it has a high humidity in winter, which forced parents to drive children away from school to send them elsewhere.

In at least one case, the municipality has decided to close the school after the renovation, under the pretext that there are not enough students, even though the number of students for the lower cycle has been brought between 15 and 20 students, the number that should actually be a standard for a class, if the goal of a quality education. In other words, schools are renovated and built, to be closed immediately, having a close interest of municipal officials for tenders.

A significant part of teachers in the Fushe-Kosovo municipality need a re-qualification, since they are not even introduced with new standards in teaching. Few people take advantage of their labs, even though most schools actually don't even have computer labs and leave it to some particular area, for chemistry or physics.

The Fushe-Kosovo municipality in the medium-term frame of spending plans to spend just over 4% of its own budget for investment in education, some 120 thousand euros, respectively. While there are operational costs, almost twice as much education spending, which tens of thousands are spent on promotional activities, which can in fact be viewed freely as being spent on the luxury of municipal officials who, in most cases, spend weekends abroad.

This is just a summary of the problems that today have Fushe-Kosovo schools, which has caused a drastic drop in student achievement. Kosovo Schools do not provide a future for the children of this municipality, as they once did. The same schools only two decades ago have been competitive with the best schools in the capital, and today they are an undesirable but often forced on students with great ambitions.

Many students' parents, conditional on self - help, who make an effort to achieve a high achievement regardless of what the school offers, are frustrated when their children, because of their residence, are forced to have high school in Fushe-Kosovo. Even the efforts of parents trying to register their children as residents in Pristina are not rare in order to have them have a school that prepares them a little better for a country-level competitiveness. We've had cases of complaints such as parents, who have felt hopeless about their children's future, when they realized that even changing the settlement won't allow them to register in schools that are preferred to Fushe-Kosovo.

Vetevendosje in Fushe-Kosovo has consistently followed developments in the education sector and found that, first of all, this situation in education is the result of irresponsible and degradation in the Fusha-Kosovo municipality. Viewing education simply as a tender where it can be ripped apart and as a country with the potential to employ family members or party militants has deepened and reflected in many aspects of the education system in Fushe-Kosovo.

Vetevendosje thinks that the first step to be taken in education, as well as in other areas, should be to establish a responsibility, an account at all levels, a professional standards control system, an examination of education workers' preparation, and a rationalisation of municipality spending in order to increase investments in education. Vetevendosje has a programme of particular aspects for the education system in Fushe-Kosovo, which is being prepared to be introduced to the negotiators in specific segments, depending on the existing specifics in different settlements and schools.
