Turns strong Tsundman Jasharaj: It requires that teachers not retire until the pandemic is finished

United Science and Culture Education Union ( The SBASK has asked Prime Minister Albin Kurti not to retire during the long-term lesson.

SBASK's full request:

Do not retire teachers until further learning

The SBASK is continuing to hold meetings from a distance with educational workers from nurserys to even Kosovo Universities with the sole aim of encouraging and supporting them in the maximum commitments they are making in the best implementation of the far-off education process. Analyzing with them the course of learning from a distance, the SBASK has taken on a commitment from membership, to once again address the prime minister. Albin Kurti with concrete demand that the Government make a decision to allow education workers who have reached retirement age to continue engagement until the end of the education process from far away.

By arguing this request, the SBASK mentioned that the learning process from a distance is under way and that education workers have created a good experience of realising the learning process with responsible platforms and are maintaining continued communication with students and parents by jointly engaging in the overall flow of learning at a distance. If the educational cadres that have been completed are retired, the flow of learning from a distance would be difficult because under these circumstances the process of recruiting new quarts is very difficult and days would be lost in anticipation of competition deadlines and there would also be problems in organising the work of writing and oral interview panels for competing candidates. It will also remind us that new cadres would be very difficult to engage successfully in the learning process from a distance because they would be unknown to colleagues at that school and much more so for students with whom they would have to develop the learning process. They would also find it extremely difficult to create opportunities for communication with their parents.

The SBASK in its request to Prime Minister Kurti has reminded the Government that all those who have retired from April 1st 2020 to today are carrying out the teaching process with their students and these teachers have contributed over 40 years to Kosovo's educational system, and this month are at risk of remaining free of salaries and pensions because of the state created by the pandemic, since they have not made pension decisions or applied for pensions, but are continuing the teaching work from the distance as all other teachers.

The SBASK believes that Prime Minister Kurti and Government will make such a decision, which contributes to removing the concerns of our colleagues who have reached retirement age and would thus continue with a successful course of learning from a distance with educational cadres that have even begun this form of educational process.
