Free textbooks for over 239 thousand Albanian students
The Ministry of Education and Sports has allocated over $9 million to provide free textbooks to more than 238,000 students this year.
Why is this significant
The program seeks to ease the financial strain on thousands of Albanian families. It benefits approximately 227,000 pupils from grades 1 to 9, who will receive free textbooks. An additional 12,500 high school students (grades 9 to 12) coming from specific social backgrounds, will also receive support for their educational materials.
This free textbook support program is particularly focused on students from families facing social and economic challenges, as well as those needing special support, including children with disabilities and those from minority groups.
Textbooks will be distributed according to a set schedule, coordinated with teachers and parents, to ensure that all students receive their materials on time.
