After the abolition, Nagavci ready to negotiate the new collective contract

“One of the challenges in the education system remains the successful implementation of policies which are in the capacity of the Ministry of Education. Given that under the Law on Education in the Community, it is in the hands of municipalities to do oversight and make sure that the processes thrive. Unfortunately, because of political reasons, there have not rarely been challenges in implementing the” legislation, it has been expressed.

However, Nagavci has said that last year they have done very good work in meeting legal infrastructure.

” are four finalised laws, many of which have started decades ago and failed to finalise and a string of administrative guidelines, but now must become their implementation in practice. On this line, as the minister of education is in finalisation of the employment of 20 inspectors, and the competition will soon open for at least 20 more”, the minister has said.

According to her with these mechanisms, they will ensure that, in cooperation with other partners, each will be able to carry out its work according to the competencies and responsibilities he has, including maintaining regular instruction or ensuring that each lesson hour is maintained according to planning, not, as he has said, that it is very easy to make decisions at school level, whether by cutting classes or at worst making the decision to avoid missing hours.

“compared to September, the situation is better, but it is disturbing to see that such decisions are easily made”, Nagavci added.

The minister has also talked about the break-up of the collective contract, while saying the executive is working to have general, non-sectoral collective contracts.

We've sent the official information to the SBASK, but we've been discussing this case since obtaining the mandate because such a contract can't even be considered valid. She has never been bound by respecting legal criteria. If you see the contract preamble, it refers to non-existing provisions or to abolished laws, which does not make that contract valid. We, along with official information on this issue, have also sent the invitation to the SBASK to start discussions on the new collective contract, and this has been mentioned by Prime Minister Kurti himself, saying that our goal and orientation as a government is to have general collective contracts and not only sector contracts, as was in this case the contract signed in time of the election campaign by the minister of a political subject”, she said.

Nagavci has said the government's will and willingness exists, but according to her, the SBASK is not interested in negotiating the new contract.

Whatever the case, I believe they will reflect again and find that their “position is wrong too, the minister has underlined.
