Albanian language enters official communications of New York public schools

New York City's Education Chancellor, Melissa Aviles-Ramos, announced that Albanian has been officially declared one of the languages ??used for school communications by the City's Department of Education. The news was made public by the Albanian-American newspaper, 'Illyria'.

This decision represents a major victory and a new era for Albanian families in the United States. Of the approximately 180 languages ??spoken in New York City, only 10 have been included in official public school communications to date. With the latest decision, three more languages ??are added, one of which is Albanian, bringing the total number to 13 (including English). 

This means that any important document, notice or information that the school sends to parents will also be available in Albanian, significantly facilitating the involvement of Albanian parents in the educational life of their children.

For years, many Albanian parents have had difficulty keeping up with their children's school life due to the language barrier. Now, with documents in their native language, they feel represented and respected. They can more easily understand any information, react with more confidence, and actively participate in decision-making that affects their children's education.

This helps students feel included and progress better both academically and emotionally. The fact that Albanian is now part of the official documentation of an educational system like New York's is a powerful message that increases their self-confidence and pride in their origins, confirming that identity is not an obstacle, but an asset./illyria.com
