Quality of Education in Kosovo Continues to Be Low

Meanwhile, international estimates that have been made for education in Kosovo have brought our country almost last in quality. However, government officials say steps have been taken to get out of this situation.

Recently, the World Bank has found in a comparison report analysis that children in Kosovo by the age of 18 are expected to attend 12.8 years of primary, primary and middle schooling, but when their educational years are rated for the quality of education, then their schooling is equal only 7.7 years.

According to the report, a child born today in Kosovo will only be 56 percent productive when he grows up compared to a child who will have a full education.

The education affairs acquaintance, Dukagjin Pupovci, says that in terms of quality in education, we cannot boast of anything. He has told Radio Kosovo that the latest World Bank report is called in the test results P The ISA and that such differences exist elsewhere.

The “is about 4 years in Macedonia, Montenegro, then Serbia and Albania stay a little better. But there is another factor to be seen from the postwar period, that of participation in education. We've had an unpleasant participation in education, as a result of the situation of the '90s, where many children have not been able to attend school. ”

In recent years, data has highlighted the young people's poor work markets. Many private companies, corporations, and public institutions have stressed that young people who are employed or job seekers have little knowledge of specific areas, as well as lack appropriate skills. According to them, this results from poor quality in schools. The Kosovo Assembly last year also adopted a resolution for education to be a national priority, a resolution that never began to be implemented. Pupovci says this means education is not a priority.

The “is a priority at the moment when political subjects should show that they are doing something and come now to issue a resolution. It may be declarative, but it does not. The practical value is when it translates the resolution into the budget, when it requires implementation, when the education minister reports to the assembly, it is seen whether the results are being achieved. Otherwise, this has become routine. But resolutions do not solve the problem, and despite the fact that Kosovo has a strategy with 240 different strategic measures, these actions are not being seen or very isolated. ”

Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has declared that the 2019 budget will be 12% higher for the field of education, compared to the current year. The budget envisions 300m euros dedicated to education.
