About 33,000 applications per two days for books are estimated to be low

Less than 10% of parents who have primary school students have applied for subvention of textbooks, two days after the deadline opened.

Although there are still four days left, before the learning process begins, according to education ministry data, published Saturday night, there are about 33,000 applications on the <x0 platform E-Kosovo”.

This figure is being rated low by education connoisseurs, since according to the data, some 300 thousand families will have to equip their children with books.

Youth Qahaja from the “Institute Ed Guard” says institutions would have to do more with parental awareness to apply on this platform.

What we're all aware of, to my conviction, and on the part of the government is that this process is delayed, of course, yes, what will be its effect that remains to be seen from September onward, but a greater support to increased consciousness in the use of the platform, no doubt it would be welcome for the parents first, to remember that not all are appropriate on the platform on line”, Rinor Qehaja said.

While former Deputy Education Minister Azem Guri says it will only be one of the problems that will surface the next few days.

“What is the most important to stress the first did not act as the Law for Pre-university Education in the Republic of Kosovo, which means by law these should follow even procurement procedures, it is imperative that the paying of textbooks, not in this form as they have acted”, has stressed the former rsv. Minister of Education Azem Guri for Dukagjini.

Next Friday, all students will start their new school year.

 

 

Despite numerous criticisms, MAST has decided this year to subsidise parents, since, as it has said, they have not reached agreement with publishing houses on book supply as well as the past years.
