Today, March 7, is Teacher's Day.

March 7th is known as Teacher's Day in Albania, and is widely celebrated in schools and universities.

It is a day to remember and appreciate teachers for their dedication to teaching and preparing future generations.

The origins of this day coincide with the opening of the first Albanian school, which opened in March 1887 in Korça, precisely at a time when Albanians were learning Albanian secretly in their homes, due to Ottoman rule.

The first teacher and director of the first Albanian Teacher's School was Pandeli Sotiri. Since that day, March 7 is celebrated in Albania as Teacher's Day to commemorate that important cultural and historical event.

Even in difficult conditions, when the teaching of the Albanian language was strictly prohibited due to the conditions under Ottoman rule, the Korça Teacher's School remained open for almost 20 years. Its leaders were well-known figures of the Albanian Renaissance such as: Pandeli Sotiri, Petro Nini Luarasi, Nuçi Naçi, Thoma Avrami, etc.

The great contribution that these distinguished patriots and activists made to the nation is evidenced by the ardent desire they had to spread knowledge among the people.

With the opportunities they had, they became the initiators of the creation of the first documented school textbooks. They devoted great importance to equipping them with the appropriate teaching tools, and to further distributing them to their students.

Educated with the high spirit of patriotism, these students would become worthy followers of their teachers' ideology and devoted fighters in the fight for freedom and independence./ CNA
