Of the 29,731 high school graduates participating in the Albanian Language and Literature test, only four of them managed to get the maximum grade, 10.

For Ledi Shamku-Shkreli and Nebi Bardhoshi from the Academy of Albanian Studies, this is bad news that was actually expected.

This is because according to them, the current system and curricula have many shortcomings that must be fixed. Ms. Shkreli says that in Literature, the education system in the country is at the stage it was in the 60s where the main question remains "what did the author want to say".

According to her, the Albanian language is the only institution not yet decommunized.

“Është për t’u riformuar, për të shpëtuar nga ideologjia…”

Kurse për Nebi Bardhoshin, katër dhjetat nuk janë shqetësuese. Për të, shqetësuese do të ishte nëse nuk do të kishte asnjë dhjetë.

“Është një vlerësim që duhet ta analizojnë ata që kanë hartuar tekstet, se ku kanë kërkuar shumë.”-tha në studion e Abc news, Zonja Shkreli.

Dy studiuesit thonë se një numër i madh pyetjesh duhen shtruar për të shkruar drejt ndryshimit të sistemit.

Ata theksojnë se “A është menduar, a po mendohet çfarë gjuhësie e letërsie, zhvillohen në shkollë të mesme? Apo shkojmë drejt një programi që hap shoqërinë, apo është një shkollë që do t’i dëshmojë studentit që nuk di. Dhe të ndihet keq prej godinës? Shkolla duhet të punojë shumë për këto sfida.”

But what can be done concretely to change the approach to linguistics and literature in primary and secondary schools? Ledi Shamku-Shkreli says that the Academy of Albanian Studies should not be satisfied with the elite study, but should also touch on concrete concerns such as language and linguistics.

According to her, the possibilities are there, and the Academy has the ability and desire to take on this issue.

"The opportunity to offer a text design program that comes with a different approach to national knowledge. A new relationship with teachers, the Academy has the opportunity and the desire to be part of the offer of new programs, but that these programs are also made in an intensive dialogue with teachers. We want an active dialogue with MES," she said.
