TIRANA, The school year is mostly over, with a few moments remaining for the students with some exams. While that of the high school and the lower levels is over, unfortunately bringing out some problems.
It was a good move that the authorities undertook some years ago to let the private educational institutions get in place in the country.
That resulted with scores of private universities and hundreds of schools of lower level.
That urged a greater competition with many families turning their children to be part of the private ones.
But time has shown, and that is probably the result of the market competition, that not all private schools had all the requirements applied in their programs.
Families pay good amounts of money for their children in such private schools and it has turned out that the threat or pressure that teachers usually exert on students for their failure this time failed. Teachers are afraid to let students not finish their school year with bad marks as likely they are advised by their masters.
In other cases at the public schools it came out that teachers or professors often try to get illegal payments for good marks in the exams.
That was also shown with the arrest of four teachers who had allegedly advised some of their students for the last year exams in the high schools. In another case it was a university professor.
All private universities are in bad days now, after their excelling first years. The market is slowly filtering them and there are rumors, because officially no one accepts, that their finances are in bad conditions.
That is natural and normally many of them should close down and leave the space to the winning ones.
The problems remains with the students who should try to get the best of their universities, even when they will go bankrupt.
End of school year brings many problems ahead
