TIRANA, June 22 – The Greek media has raised alarm over the possible closure of some Greek-language schools in Albania.
According to Greek media reports, the ethnic greek minority in Albania opposes a possible decision by the Ministry of Education in Greece to shut down the Greek school Homer in Korca and the Greek school in Himara, which have had not only Greek children, but also Albanian students.
The reasons for this, according the Greek Ministry of Education, are linked to the financial crisis Greece is currently experiencing. Since they cannot transfer funds which cover the school’s functional costs, no one can be sure that the school is going to function for the next school year which starts in September.
The Organization for the Dissemination of the Greek Language (O.D.G.L) will try to stop this action by all means possible, they said.
The school in Himara faces the same funding problems as the teachers and employees of the school have not been paid yet.
Greek schools may be closed in Albania
