Summary/Abstract: Education in Albania, as an important sector of the national development, aims to equip the future Albanian citizens with the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities in order to educate and commit them to achieve the country’s economic and socio-cultural development. After the 90’s the Albanian economic and social situation have significantly influenced the education and reforms.
