Zhupa's post:

Happy academic year to lecturers, students and university staff.

The new academic year finds the situation of Albanian universities in the darkest day, where abusers are at the head of the education system.

The new minister Manastirliu is old in abuses, it is enough to look at the reports of KLSH, and the investigations launched by SPAK, to understand what her management model is.

Some of the acting rectors of public universities are under criminal prosecution, being investigated for various abuses, from corruption, bribery, concessions, abuse of funds, etc.

Teachers continue to be underpaid, far from being treated with dignity in the salary hierarchy.

Students are put in a noose, with binding contracts and rights violations, with the highest fees in the region, with the most inappropriate conditions, with the lack of laboratories, quality textbooks, competitive practice. Students have not been supported by any government policy in these 10 years.

200 places below 2022 in the ranking is the result of policies that only harm education and make students run away. Scientific research remains a distant dream, where without budgets and stimulating policies, no progress can be made.

As an MP with a teaching profession, even as a member of the education committee, you will not be held accountable, asking for higher budgets for education, support for students, funds for scientific research and quality education that meets the needs of the time.
