Lushaku: Kosovo has lost a total of 28,670 students over four years

Jehona Lushaku, a candidate for MP from the opposition Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), said today that due to the poor state of education, the country has lost 28,670 students over the past four years alone, while more than 400 teachers have left the education system, Ekonomia Online reports.

Lushaku stated that these figures are not merely statistics, but evidence of a serious institutional failure, emphasizing that the emptying of schools and the departure of teachers are not the result of demographic factors, but rather of misguided policies and a lack of vision in governance, as well as the direct irresponsibility of the government led by Self-Determination leader Albin Kurti.

“When schools are becoming emptier every year and teachers are leaving, the problem is not demographic, but the consequence of wrong policies and a lack of vision. Kurti’s government had a budget. It had a surplus. But there was no will, no priorities, no vision for education. There were no real investments. There were no reforms. Only propaganda,” Lushaku said.
