Sulejmani: School optimization is being used to address the decline in the number of students

Deputy Education Minister Driton Sulejmani said that the decline in the number of students in primary and secondary schools is being addressed through the optimization of classes and educational institutions.

Speaking to Alsat, Sulejmani said the initiative aims to create more favorable conditions for students and improve the educational process.

According to him, the decline in the number of students is linked to years of ongoing emigration, an inherited problem facing the country. For this reason, the Ministry of Education and Science is merging classes in primary and secondary schools, particularly in rural areas. Sulejmani cited cases in which one school building has only two students, while a nearby school also has only two students; under these circumstances, the two schools are merged into one. He stressed that having a larger number of students in a classroom encourages competition and helps children socialize. /alsat
