Veliaj, promise for excellent students/ "We will restore the

The 170 excellent graduates of Tirana, who also excelled in the State Matura exams, were honored today in a special ceremony with the Certificate of Appreciation.

The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, who together with the Minister of Education, Evis Kushi distributed these certificates to the excellent students of Tirana, thanked the young people, whom he said are today the crown of pride of our capital.

"It would be a great sin if we did not find a moment to say thank you, to say 'well done' and 'we are proud of you' for the 170 chunas and gocs of Tirana, who have come out with tenth and you are today the crown of pride of our capital. Today I remember a famous speech of Lincoln that said: "I do the best that I am and do the best that I can and I will continue to do so as long as I live." And if everyone does the best they are and the best they can, society will also become better. Therefore, today for 170 citizens of Tirana, who have done the best they are and the best they can, and what they are and what they can do, they deserve all the respect. Today they are the real VIPs of Tirana", said Veliaj.

The mayor said that excellent students will continue to be supported by the Municipality with scholarships.

"I am also proud that we have decided in the Municipality of Tirana to restore, as we have restored these 8 years, the payment for the best students, starting from the 9-year-old. Not that one should be paid to learn. This is not the essence, but the essence is that just as we give social assistance and economic assistance to the most improbable and the most needy, even for the best, a city can never be poor. And for all those cynics and skeptics, for all those who might even vote against such initiatives, I want to invite you to look at 170 stars who over the years have received this contribution from the Municipality of Tirana, maybe just to buy more many books and more notebooks, but still a way that the city, this big city with 1 million problems, with 1 million problems, but also with 1 million opportunities,
