In addition to the classroom register, teachers must also complete the online register, following the decision of the Council of Ministers approved in December 2021 for the creation of the pre-university information management system.

Teachers support the computerization of the education system, but oppose the way it is being implemented.

"You have been asked and you have been told about the duties of the teachers in the last link of this chain to also throw the dates and topics. This is colossal work. Where will this electronic register be worked? When all the school infrastructure is missing. At a minimum, we should have computers in every class so that grades and topics can be posted in real time, as this vkm says. There should be internet and equipment in schools," said Alma Lama, head of the independent education union for Tirana

In addition to the conditions in the schools, the chemistry teacher and at the same time the head of the education union for Tirana, Alma Lama, estimates that the teachers have been put under pressure to complete the electronic register and have been forced to complete this new task in their homes. She proposes that just as the teaching rate for the vice principal and school coordinator has been reduced by 2 hours, this should happen for every teacher who, according to the Ministry of Education, must post online continuous evaluations, teaching topics, student absences so that parents can receive the information to their children in real time.

"This is an innovation, this is a new task. we are doing extra and unpaid work. Why should this job go to the family? This is not normal. On the other hand, this innovation also takes the time that we have very sacred for the students. The teacher is being robbed of the time that should be for the students!" said Alma Lama, head of the independent education union for Tirana.

Although already a legal obligation, what is pointed out is that primary data such as school infrastructure, employment contracts and teachers' qualifications that must be presented and administered in the virtual system by the educational services center, as well as assigned tasks for the regional educational directorates have not been fully fulfilled, but the account is requested of the teachers, who state that in this situation it is impossible for them to finalize the work.

"As long as this is a VKM signed on 3.12.2021, it means that things should be taken seriously," said Alma Lama, head of the independent education union for Tirana./Tch
