Here's what was not seen at VV's strange news conference

At a media conference Monday, Commission for Education Chairman Ardian Goula said the opposition's call for hearing over the book issue is unacceptable.

According to him, MASTI's decision on textbooks has eliminated corrupt practices in the past.

Gola said the extraordinary session was aimed at undermining the child's storage, so according to him, the ruling party has boycotted it.

We have a quality that is unacceptable to us, which is a failure to provide textbooks. As the assistant is talking about a decision recently made by the Government of Kosovo that has to do with a change of distribution practice, we still don't know the implications of this decision to conduct any well-informed and precise information debate, because the process is continuing and we have a full start in school order. Even as we have been late in the past years to provide textbooks, but since it has been this way every year, we still don't know exactly whether this delay is due to the decision made by the Government or is due to certain causes which have been evident even in the past, because even in the past years when there are price negotiations, we still have after delaying text”, Gola said.

Gola said the decision taken by the ministry aims to transform a practice according to him with full corruption shortcomings in the past.

We consider that our own participation in a session described as failure is warranted failure, and we have refused to participate in these sessions. So we should expect the epilogue of this process, as a decision which has come as a result of the need to avoid abuses, badly management, lack of sustainable planning in the past. All of this is clearly recorded by independent bodies of the Republic of Kosovo, which are audits. This means that we should expect the development of this process of how it will take place to the end, since nothing unusual, except a decision that aims to transform a practice full of corruptives in the past, into a practice which mobilised parents even through the subsidy to buy their” texts, Gola said.

According to him, today's session was also aimed at breaking up children's household in this school year.

I also promise that as chairman of the commission, the commission will be discussed as well as the session, but only after we have the clear epilogue of this process, so that we have data on the ground as well as on the ground, how it has been a new practice, which has been the advantages, which have been possible to be the challenges, can we continue next year, but not the sessions that are conducted through arbitrary conditions and the destruction of child storage with a very good start of school. And I hope that in the regular but extraordinary sessions that can be organised after the start of the winter and autumn session of parliament we discuss with safe ground-based information and not with the spin and party propaganda”, Gola said, among other things.

While MP Arjeta Rexhepi said 18 schools in the country have not started learning so far because of infrastructure, rather than lack of textbooks.

“As far as the Ministry of Education has announced to us, shows that schools in the Republic of Kosovo, which have not started the teaching process, are only 18 schools in total, and the reason not to start school is not the lack of textbooks, but is the problem in infrastructure. And among those 18 schools, there are schools from larger municipalities where the opposition government and they haven't started the teaching process, so they haven't been willing to do infrastructure work. It happened in the Pristina municipality, Prizren and Mitrovica. It's called failing a substitute reform, we consider it to be biased and political... The number of readmission applications is about 130 thousand applicants”, Rexhepi said.

Meanwhile, MP Jahja Kokaj has criticised the content of the textbooks, according to him it should be worked in this direction.

I haven't attended the guest meeting today, because it was invited to the agenda, where the word failed. I don't participate where there's a failure... when it's said to have missed the start of the school year, it's incorrect, because the school year started to work, and we're witnessing, that the first day of school is the student announcement with the face of the educator, is the education report with the structure, the program, to recommend which texts should be used. All schools have begun learning well except for those behind obstacles that have not been left with textbooks... I had another critic speak up, the fact that the texts I think are weak, a very large number of them. Both structural and scientific and linguistically weak. So in this regard, we need to think of making a progress of”, Cocaj said.

Among other things, Cocaj has also accused publishing houses of the price of books.

I heard that in Tirana a book was 2.2 euros, I don't know what it was called, but in Kosovo 6.3 euros. Add to it the fact that besides the basic text, there is a supplementary text, a worksheets. I consider it necessary to take a step and the ministry has a tendency to take a step of reforming, of such organisation”, Cocaj added.

Parliamentary debate, called by the opposition, over supply of textbooks, has failed as a result of boycott by the ruling party, the Vetevendosje Movement.
