Kurti for March 7 promises dignified salaries for teachers when Vetevendosje takes power

Kurti writes that it is his subject's duty to take over and start a more dignified treatment for teachers, starting with wages.

Kurti points out that the salary of no teacher should be below the public sector's salary average, adding also that no authorities should be paid more than triple that average, writes Periscope.

He says the legislation must be regulated so that, whenever the prime minister's salary is raised, the salaries of other workers paid by the state, including teachers, will increase.

This is Kurt's complete writing:

7 Mars, Experience, and Task

My experience of March 7 does not differ much from other adults who look back on their childhood, with a deep appreciation and respect for the first teacher and all the other teachers. Personally, the passion and discipline I have for reading and learning, knowledge and study was planted by my teacher, Nafije Deva, not less than by my mother, as well as a teacher.

There is also a historical experience, appreciation for the first teachers, founders of Albanian education in Kosovo, Albania and other lands, humility towards those teachers and educators who taught us in very difficult conditions, in the parallel system we built during apartheid.

But besides personal experience, our duty to teachers is also important, as activists of the largest and most voted subject in Kosovo, which will soon government to bring about change.

We have a duty to return social appreciation for the role of teachers so that even fine students will want, at least for a few years of their lives, to get involved in teaching.

We will achieve this by establishing a dignified treatment for teachers, starting with wages. First of all, no teacher's salary should be below the public sector average. Second, no ruler should be paid more than triple this average. So if we're going to have prime ministers in the future who want to raise their salary, first we have to condition legally to increase average salaries, even teachers' salaries.

In addition to their salaries, teachers should be given a mission. The investment of these governments in education has been the facade and wall of schools. We'll bring back to school the science of knowledge, the labs, the competitions, the Olympics. The mission of school and teachers will be to create a learned and honest citizen. And this mission will be given national priority.

Respect for the teacher will not be optional. A society that does not respect this fundamental authority, cannot respect any authority, and as a result, there is no democracy but constant alternative between anarchy and despotism.

Keeping in mind these tasks of our own, which we will live in future V Movement government. We thank and thank our teachers on the Day of Albanian Education, 7 Mars.
