Berisha: With the new law on Higher Education, Rama will give the final blow to
Berisha with the teachers

Chief Democrat Sali Berisha in a meeting with pedagogues, educators and intellectuals this afternoon declared that such a meeting comes at a time when this government headed by Edi Rama, with the latest decision, is giving a 'colpo di gracia' to the universities. higher education in Albania.

He said that starting from a hostile reflex towards higher education, the teaching staff, and students, in these years of government, the country's universities have undergone serious changes in every aspect.

" Academic freedom was hit, the condition of all conditions for a university to function, to fulfill its mission. There are many expressions of the attack on academic freedom, but they culminated when Edi Rama decided to appoint the rector of the university with the most dangerous gang in Tirana.

This has never happened in at least the last 3 centuries. This act proved what his concept is for the university.

This act was not separate, but accompanied by the placement of Commissioners on university boards. This act was accompanied by the decision to block the defense of science degrees in public universities.

This decision marked the termination of the scientific research activity of these institutions, of that activity which constitutes the oxygen of their development.

This act was marked by a dramatic decrease in the budget for scientific research. Albania has a budget for scientific research 10 times lower than the average of EU countries. This was a 'brain draining' practice for our universities", said the chief democrat.

Berisha said that every teacher who had a project, a dream to turn it into reality through scientific research, had the right to look somewhere else for the realization of his project.

But he added that it was not funded, “it was not considered for you to carry out your scientific projects, but instead everything was done for you to leave.

Those researchers who had a scientific project, they no longer had any funding, no opportunity. This attitude was extremely harmful to our universities.

Consolidating a university and making it competitive is very difficult. In an open world, where competition is its law, it takes a lot of effort and wisdom. But it worked in the opposite way".

The head of the blue headquarters added that university lecturers and their assistants are among the most poorly paid and that with the new law on higher education, Rama will give the final blow to universities

" It sets a quota, a grade below which you cannot enter the university. With this, you create conditions for young people to flee Albania. What do you have to do with the grade?

It allowed universities, recognized them the right to determine who they will admit. Now he will deliver the final blow.

This law, which claims to be of the English model, is absolutely the opposite.

Even if the English model law is original, which I have studied many times and we even had an expert from the World Bank on education, it did not suit us.

You cannot compare Albania, one of the poorest countries in the world, with one of the richest countries on the planet.

If you are going to follow their path, you cannot compare your banking system with that of Great Britain, which provides loans to British students.

They don't work here, there are none of the conditions for students to get loans from banks. So it's a lie, a promise on paper.

To get a loan, you must meet certain conditions. This, coupled with the general depopulation, has led to shrinkage, closure of branches, programs, de facto to intentional bankruptcies.

By creating the three types of universities, Edi Rama wants to wash his hands, to give the fatal, final blow to higher education.

Now he says let students come from abroad, tomorrow he will say, let them go wherever they want", concluded Berisha.
