Osmani: Education has nothing to do with books and tests

In the launch of this new school year, Osmani has said that education is not only about books and tests, but about cultivating sensitivity, critical thinking and creativity.

With open minds about knowledge and heart filled with emotion, our students are starting this new school year, which is a new chapter, an opportunity to learn something new, to challenge themselves and expand the horizon of knowledge”, President Osmani said.

On the other hand, Osmani has wished the successes to mark every day of this school year.
While starting a new school year, let's bring it to the attention that education is not only about books and tests, but about cultivating sensitivity, critical thinking and creativity. The battle of knowledge never ends! Happy September 1st. The successes mark every day of this school year!”, Osmani was quoted as saying, according to ZPRK's announcement.

In contrast, by 2008 the Ministry of Education has freely distributed books to primary school students.

But this year, at the decision of Minister Arberie Nagavci, textbooks should be purchased by the students' own parents, with remourage.

The Government of Kosovo online platform, E-Kosovo, where parents could apply for cash insurance, opened on August 25th exactly one week before the launch of the new school year.

The education ministry has earmarked between 80 euros for students from the first grade to the fifth, and from 30 euros for those from the sixth to the ninth, after the last are provided from last year.
