The Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, participated today in a one-day workshop organized by the Education Inspectorate, titled “Best Practices for Effective Inspection.” During his address, he emphasized the importance that the Government places on education and on strengthening institutional capacities in this field.
Speaking before education inspectors, Kurti praised their efforts and dedication, recalling the long-standing challenges the institution has faced. He noted that for many years, the Inspectorate operated with only 25 inspectors, a number that, according to him, did not reflect the real needs of the country’s education system.
“We are here together to assess efforts to improve the quality of education and to reaffirm that educating and forming new generations remains a top priority of our government. For a long period, the Education Inspectorate functioned with only 25 inspectors — a number far below what is needed to cover schools, kindergartens, and childcare institutions. Despite this challenging reality, you have upheld one of the most important mechanisms of our education system, and for that, I express my gratitude and appreciation,” said Kurti.
He announced that, as a result of the government’s and the Ministry of Education’s commitment, 22 new inspectors have been added to further strengthen support and presence in the field across educational institutions.
“The efforts of our government and the Ministry of Education to enhance the capacity of the Education Inspectorate have never ceased. As a result of this commitment, we have added 22 new inspectors who will provide our education system with greater support and field presence,” Kurti stated.
Kurti added that investments in education have been continuous and aimed at improving teaching and learning conditions — from the construction and renovation of schools with modern infrastructure and contemporary equipment to the professional development of teachers.
“All these investments also benefit you, the Inspectorate. The stronger the foundation of our education system, the easier your work becomes — and the fewer interventions will be needed,” Kurti concluded.
