Approximately two weeks at school are missing from 70 to 75 students who are not common in our statistics. We keep statistics, and we've missed 20 students before. There are 1200 students at our school. These shortages have to do with the spread of the flu, as we call parents at every time and we see that they are missing for this reason”, SETimes Hope Shala, SHFMU Director “Xhemail Mustafa” in Pristina, told SETimes.
