Disarray over 90s Teaching Bill

The uncertainty about the budgetary cost the draft law on the status of Albanian education workers in Kosovo in the 1990s has crashed the SBASK and the Labour Ministry.

And from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, procedures for this law are required to accelerate.

Haki Brdynay from MAST said they stand behind the law and expect all procedures to be completed by September, in order to implement the draft status of Albanian education workers in Kosovo in January 2019.

Meanwhile, the director of the pension department at the Ministry of Labour and Social Management, Bahri Xhaferi, received some remarks regarding this bill, which mainly concerned budgetary costs.

Although it was a favour that teachers tou are familiar with their contribution, it said that this bill has shortcomings and budgetary costs do not match reality.

My biggest concern came up in that escalation of between 1 and 10, or 1 to 5”, he said.

The harshest response to Xhaferi's statements was made by SBASK, Nundman Jashari, who said that if the revision of this bill was unfair and a companion for teachers of the 1990s.

If Kosovo has come to question the following 6 million for those people who keep their hope alive for the future and keep the Albanian alphabet alive, don't let this country go... Don't blow up the numbers by creating hostility among the people because it costs the law hundreds of millions because it doesn't cost”, Jashar said.

Commission for Education, Science and Technology member Teuta Haxhiu said that given the will of MPs, the draft law for education workers of the 1990s will be passed on second reading.

Haxhiu asked for clarification by the Labour Ministry's representative for pension schemes she said were made “mish mash”, but that a concrete response did not receive.

And Arberie Nagavci of the Vetevendosje Movement has demanded that the Commission for Education, Science and Technology through a written letter to the Ministry of Finance ask for information on the real cost affecting the teaching bill of the 1990s.

The latter has also demanded that Minister of Education, Science and Technology Bekim Bytyqi report before the commission, in which Bytyqi has now appointed Shihrete Recicen, task manager Bekim Samardreja, in office.

Otherwise, during this meeting, the Parliamentary Commission for Education, Science, Technology, Culture, Youth, Sports, Inovation and the Undergrader has sent the Education Inspectorate Bill to the Republic of Kosovo, with unanimous votes.
