Periskopi(6 years ago)
(6 years ago)Only 1,000 and 600 students have been admitted to residence at the Students Centre for this academic year, although the facilities for this centre are for 40,000 students. The reduction of the number of students has been made as a safeguard clause by the pandemic COVID-19. Even though students have sought to free themselves from certain payments, those whom they want [...]
Although students have sought to free themselves from certain payments, those who will reside in the Student Centre will pay fees like other years without any release. They will even have to pay even if they don't take advantage of the room despite the recent government's decision to continue teaching higher education online.
Acceptable students will be the only ones in the room, while even in the cafeteria, which will function as “take-away” (Take with you), only those students who will be residents in dormitories as a safeguard against the spread of the coronary.
Students Centre Director Fatmir Sfishta says they have made all preparations to welcome the new students, including all measures for protection by COVID-19.
We've had about 4 thousand and 300 students applying for 1,000 and 600 countries that were allowed this year by the National Institute of Public Health to settle in the Students Centre. These 1,000 and 600 countries have come as a result of the number of rooms because a student will be placed in a room of”, he says.
Sfishta says accepted students should pay even if they do not stay in dormitories as a result of the government's decision to keep teaching online. However, he says for the remaining days of November they will not pay, but the payment will begin by December.
The residence at the Students Centre will cost 35 euros a month, where 20 euros is staying in dormitories, while 15 euros is the food in the cafeteria.
The recent decision does not confirm that nine of the academic or faculty units, other than online learning, are forced to do practical and laboratory work and nine of these academic units we've shared the capacity of 70 percent of these 600 countries, while five other faculties have 30 percent of capacity. So students studying at those nine faculties have practical and laboratory jobs other than the speeches we follow online. [...] The payment begins ) for information on the remaining days of November will not pay-will begin by December, we have no other decision to release students”, he says.
To protect the student's health, Sfish says that they have made all the necessary preparations until he points out that they have also approved the manual on how resident boarding students should behave.
He says all dorms are equipped with disinfectant, while students before the entrance will be measured in temperature.
The “has been more than a month since we have already received recommendations from the Institute on how to act and we have made all the necessary preparations so that, in case of the students' admission, their health will not be jeopardised and we can make some sort of marketing, some kind of information for students about how to conduct themselves in these pandemic circumstances. We believe that we have accomplished it and are ready to wait for these students, accommodate them, and somehow get the best out of it to maintain public health. [...] We've published a guide on both the website and the official Facebook of the Student Center, and on that guide are all the details of how students should behave in this pandemic. This applies to the staff of the Student Center, and that guide to each student at the time of his deployment will provide a copy. Also, each student will be obliged to sign a declaration of responsibility in order to adhere to all of those rules that are public both by the IKSHPK, the MSH and the QS”, he says.
Management with students at this time when the country is facing pandemic, Sfishta says it is a challenge, but it says that with the number of management students reduced is easier.
He claims that even in the cafeteria, only 1,000 and 600 students who will be residents of the dormitory will be fed and taken with them for protection from COVID-19 students.
Only those students who have been admitted to dormitories will be fed into menses, not like in the past years that have been able to feed a certain number of students who don't live in dormitories, so they're going to feed 1,000 and 600 students. Even in the cafeteria we've taken the necessary measures, with the government's recent decision we're required that students pack their food and come and take it away and feed in their rooms”, Sfisha says.
The student admission competition has been open from October 26th to November 07th 2020, while the deadline for complaints for those who are not accepted is in November 16th and 17th./ kp/ kp
