Teacher's Role in the Development of Albanian School Outside the Albanian State Border Territories 1941 -1948

Abstract

The intention of this study is to treat the Albanian teachers contribution originating from Albanian territories who worked in different areas of Albania. They came from different Kosova areas like Pristina, Peja, Gjakova, Prizren, Gjilan, Mitrovica etc. All these teachers gave an important contribution in the development of education and Albanian pedagogical thought during 1941- 1948 eras. Their workings were not inside schools’ walls but it a broader range. At that time work was 24/7 with regular students and people who didn’t know how to read and write. Kosovar teachers that worked in Albania are found in the position of teachers, deputy head masters and head masters, educational inspectors and up to Ministers of Education. These teachers of this period took an active part in all political, cultural and educational events. Even though they worked in Albania, they never forgot their mother country and their birthplace. In all occasions when Albanian language schools were legalized they rushed without hesitation to organise the opening of such schools. Such things happened during 1915-1918 years, 1941-1944, and also after 1945.
