Periskopi(3 years ago)
(3 years ago)This year's September will not start with strikes, but it is likely to start without student textbooks. With Kurti governance, there will be no free books for students, but now parents will be forced to buy their children's books themselves and then the ministry transfers their money. From [...]
This has been highly criticised by both opposition deputies and civil society.
In an interview with the former Minister of Education Periscope, Rame Buya has criticised the Nagavci minister's proposal for textbooks, naming it a blow to parents.
From 2008 to 2018 books have been given thanks to all first and second-class students from fifth to ninth grade and now to burden parents who have bought books that they had hopes that they had no fun from September, that's not a problem with many of the people and many of the parents who have two and three children...”, said Buya.
According to the former Education Minister, the ministry has been able to resolve this issue by starting negotiations earlier with publishing houses and not leaving for August.
“MAST has had another choice and the only solution has been that way that negotiations were to take place earlier and not leave for August to negotiate with book publishers. They've left it at the end, and now they have no choice, and it comes to the worst possible form for parents to buy and then pay back, and this is completely irreplaceable and striking for parents. I don't know how the Ministry of Education thought it, but it's bad...” says the former minister.
Remember that The Parents ' Council And the SBASK has not welcomed the Education Ministry's proposal for textbooks.
The deputy head of the parents' council, Wisar Islami, said that if the idea of Education Minister Arberie Nagavci is experienced, there will be many problems.
It's not a decision, but it's an idea, we like the Council think of something else and not a recall to bring us problems. The prices will be up to producers, different prices, the ministry will be able to secure the texts, and the previous approach has been good”, he said in Magazine.
While according to the SBASK chairman, Nundman Jasharaj has said this decision is wrong and hits poor families. According to him, for a student only the books would cost around 70 euros.
“What we'll have at the beginning of the school year, we'll have students in classrooms without textbooks and what's worse, some of the parents may be able to buy the texts, and other children will be humiliated because their parents haven't been able to buy”, Jasharaj stressed./Iliriana Jylan-Periscopi/
