Dear teachers!

By Bujar Leskaj

Honorable and respected teachers of Vlora!

For me, today is a very special day. While we are celebrating, young people from FRPD symbolically donate bouquets of flowers, books, and personalized postcards to senior teachers in our city, as a sign of gratitude for their work and contribution.

Vlora has been distinguished for generations of genuine intellectuals and teachers, who have left an indelible mark on Vlora and Albanian education.

Mathematicians, physicists, linguists, historians, biologists, chemists...

With hundreds of teachers from various fields, before whom an entire city bows in reverence.

Today is your holiday!

We are proud of you and with all our hearts we wish you a HAPPY HOLIDAY, MARCH 7, good health and a long life! Future generations will cherish with nostalgia the lessons and advice you give to your students. In every day of your life, you and your noble work will be remembered and appreciated with deep respect and honor.

Dear teachers!

You are the everyday Heroes of knowledge: It would never be possible to reward your patience, spirit, time, passion, and dedication!

Before you, words are lost and impoverished! Every gray hair of yours, every wrinkle is the embodiment of wisdom and nobility.

Every word and look of yours is a lesson for us.

Endless gratitude to every teacher who has become a second parent for entire generations of students! None of us would be who we are today without their dedication and sacrifices.

On this significant day, I cannot fail to mention the outstanding teachers and pedagogues of our city, who not only educated and taught entire generations of future students and intellectuals, but left a bright name in Albanian education, in Albanian science! High figures such as: Xhevdet Kofina, Harilla Kuçuli, Konstandin Baltadori, Kristaq Suli, Nestor Nepravishta, Ibrahim Zejno, Dr. Abedin Elmazi, Vasil Mino, Academician, Professor Doctor Shaban Demiraj as well as Vilhelma Vranari-Haxhiraj, Gëzim Zilja, Agron Mema, Daut Dauti, Xhemal Veliu will be remembered with love and deep respect by all of Vlora.

I would like to mention and especially congratulate all those teachers who taught me, gave me knowledge from their knowledge, culture from their culture, and made a special contribution to my intellectual and civic formation.

I would like to thank my teachers at the 8-year school "Ismail Qemali", the Industrial High School "Pavarësia", before whom words are lost and impoverished: Balil Resuli, Vasil Mino, Piro Mone, Luan Duka, Vllasi Gubera, Zhaneta Nova, Beirie Lulaj, Tefta Hajno, Dafina Brokaj, Aneta Bollano, Haxhire Alimerko, Suzana Xhafa, Kushulla Karalliu, Fejzie Osmani, Njazi Azizi, Petrit Meminaj, Fatmir Gjebrea, Frosina Papa, Arshi Sula, etc.

Dear teachers!

The Democratic Party has always valued and appreciated you as one of the pillars on which the future of Albania is built.

On this day, we honor and bow down to you with veneration for the great work and contribution you have given, are giving, and will give, to the teaching and education of new generations.

Through the education program, the Democratic Party aims to restore your trampled dignity and place education at the levels it deserves.

A special thank you and appreciation to all the teachers who participated in the cocktail meeting we organized today, March 7, 2025.

I wish you from the bottom of my heart: Happy March 7th!
