(2 years ago)The education ministry still has no official decision on how students are supplied with textbooks for the new 2024/25 school year. Meanwhile, education connoisseurs are assessing parental subsidy, as it did last year, has not been successful and it is important that the supply of students with textbooks [...]
Even as opposed to the less than a month and a half of the start of the new school year, parents and school principals still have no information on how to provide students with textbooks. On this issue, the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation (MASHTI) have announced to Radio Kosovo that there is still no decision on the issue.
And educational connoisseurs are assessing that last year's experience in parental subsidy was ineffective. Xhavit Rexhaj, said the supply of students with textbooks should be made from publishing houses. Meanwhile, in terms of subsidies for school tools, he said it is good to continue only for families in serious economic condition.
I think it's best to use the network that has publishing houses and continue to distribute the texts on the part of publishing houses. They have the network, they have the capacity and they have been built for decades. It is not good now that the capacities of publishing houses remain untapped and pass in a manner of distribution that texts that last year did not prove effective”, Rexha said.
Youth Qehaja from Institute “EdGard”, said any option you choose. August, it is important that the supply is done over time and that the ministry should not repeat the mistakes of past years.
“There are years in which the ministry would have to take good lessons, it would have to learn from those mistakes and not repeat from year to year and to direct harm to students”, Qehaja said.
The education union continues to be against the decision to subsidize parents for textbooks. The chairman of this union, Nundman Jasharaj, said students had lacked textbooks during the first two months of last school year.
“The development of students with textbooks last year has been a bad experience and which has been reasonably opposed by the Education Union, parents and others. The lack of texts has been observed throughout September and October”, Jasharaj said.
The spent budget money for the purchase of textbooks and textbooks during the 22/23 school year was over 11m euros.
