Fiks Fare's observation/ Students do not recognize the prominent figures of

Education is seen as a way to change the future. In Albania, the right to education is guaranteed by the Constitution, for all citizens without any kind of distinction.

The purpose of the education system is to build and develop knowledge, skills, attitudes and values ??that a democratic society requires; to contribute to the construction and well-being of themselves and the Albanian society and to face the challenges of life in a constructive way. Where is Albanian education today?

Fiks Fare made an observation in several public schools in Tirana. And what was seen from this observation was disappointing. The students did not even know the personalities whose names bear the schools where they study.

Well-known figures of the nation in various fields are not recognized by their descendants today, even their activity and names seem funny to many.

Students from primary classes up to pre-university education do not know the heroes, the renaissance men, nor the first leader of independent Albania, Ismail Qemalin. Fiksi asked about schools with names like Sami Frashëri, Ismail Qemali, Petro Nini Luarasi, Andon Zako Çajupi, Fan Noli, etc. Some answered that they knew their names, but knew nothing about their activities.

To others, even the names seemed strange. Some asked questions while walking away, and others asked not to answer because they would turn into memes. When asked in the presence of the teachers, the latter affirmed that the students know but do not answer "that they are joking".

While the students themselves, upon the teacher's departure, claimed that they knew nothing about the personality, whose name the school they studied in bore.

Fiksi also asked school students, whose names are personalities not so encountered in Albanian and world history or literature texts. The level of knowledge on the part of the students was the same. Nobody knew them. So it is these students who will come out tomorrow and take their roles in society, a society that is sinking into ignorance. Starting from the country's history, from their roots.../ tch
