More teachers than students: Shut down the entire school in Kacanik

Once active, the school has been locked up because of the few remaining students.

The number of students is a reflection of the reduction in the number of residents who have been displaced from Kotlin, mainly towards urban areas.

Among the few houses that are still inhabited in Kotlin is that of Rufiye Lok's family.

It shows that one of the problems for residents has been to cut off travel from village to urban centres and vice versa.

There are about 5-6 houses in the village right now. This flight trend has begun in recent years, and especially since the ban on transportation, where a considerable number of residents even had high school kids and had problems with travel”- says Locke.

This resident explains that this happened because each resident tried to find a solution for his child because they were forced to walk.

With the emptying of the village by residents, it started to reduce the number of students in primary school here where it has now been closed because the school has not even remained with 10 students, in effect saying that the highest was the number of educational workers than students”- says Locke.

She is disappointed with Kotlin's remaining condition.

We can't actually say that there's perspective here because there's 5-6 houses left here, and this number is expected to decrease for a very short period. Cotlin, when she was supposed to leave in 1999, was one of the only guests left here and didn't leave the country. Now the opposite is happening, in peacetime the country has begun to empty off or say it's empty only”-cut.

Meanwhile, the education director in the Kachanic municipality, Zahir Doda, tells KALLXO.com that the school closure decision has come after several meetings and co-ordination with village residents.

The moment we took the step to close the school, there were seven students, and today there are only three students we are carrying to another school” - he explains.

According to the head of the DKA, Kotlin students were held at the school <x0).

He says student transport provided by the municipality.

The school <x0dry Seferi” in the village of Kovacec works on a switch, so it is arranged with agreements with residents of the Kotlin village that their children have felt even more secure, even children of the second and eighth grade since they are in a change at the same time and are back to the village”- says Doda.

That's why they're set to go to Kovac because other schools that are closer work on different shifts and had to have a baby delivered in the morning, two more in the afternoon. That's why” he adds.

Meanwhile, the school object already closed in Cotlin has been given to the village administrator. “The Commission has decided that the inventory will remain in school because there is a village where an unwritten massacre occurred, and there are tombs in the courtyard of that school and are frequently overheated, there are several gatherings. You need that inventory, and at the community's request there, we've placed the inventory in the community's surveillance” - the director shows.
