Students in Albania return to mass protests on January 7th

Students will not sit in the auditorium this start. They will return to the protest square before the prime minister on January 7th, 10:00. At first, there was an idea to shift the protest to the Corps, but now calls are being made for protest in front of the government headquarters.

As explained in the post office that has been flowing for several hours on social networks, students will gather near the respective universities at 09.30 and at 10: 00 p.m., begin marching towards the prime minister.

We remember that the largest student protest in the country since the 1990s began on December 4th and was interrupted on December 21, 2018. It was interrupted because of the holiday season, but as the students had promised, they will return on January 7, 2019.

At the end of the following year, Prime Minister Edi Rama came up with a Parliament of the Council of Ministers that envisioned lowering tariffs for Bachelor studies, while Master's tariffs remained unchanged. He also presented “Paktin for
University” But students say the main points have not been realised. The solution is to annul the Law on Higher Education, as the government can change its decisions, student Igli Tola said at a television release.

We have not received a depleting response so far, and the proposal for the university pact does not exemplify all our requests. We are forced to resume protests by 7th.

The participation of students from 10% to 20% in the academic Senate at universities has been left. And for the involvement of a student under the head body of state, as is the Board of Administration.

We must have a new law which will be drafted with all the impact factors. A new, complete law must be drafted to serve Albania for future generations. The Law on Higher Education should be viewed substantially”, said student Igli Tola.
