 Besa Shahini has resigned from the Minister of Education. The news was announced by Prime Minister Rama, while this position will already be taken by Evis Kushi.

After thanking him for the contribution given at the head of this important institution, Rama said that the work of the Ministry of Education has undergone a radical change. "Besa I thank you for all the great contribution you have given, I am convinced that even what has not been achieved will be appreciated due to the current time. The truth is that the work of the Ministry of Education has undergone a radical change. Lindita has opened a reform site across the spectrum. "Besa has a newly created family that has forced her to return to Pristina", said Prime Minister Rama.

"It is difficult for me to continue another term away from my family. This post is hard to hold by me. The Socialist Party must-win another mandate if we want to see Albania move forward. The Prime Minister showed courage in involving activists from Kosovo in politics. It was unimaginable that the Opposition stood up and accused the minister of speaking in dialect. An almost racist argument", said Besa Shahini after leaving the task to her successor.

"It is a high privilege for me, after 7 years of commitment to be a minister. This is a big responsibility to run the sector where I have worked for 23 years. It is a high responsibility to run this senior institution. Elbasan is the cradle of education in Albania. I find a road paved with many reforms, but we need to work harder. Today we started the new school year, where some new schools were inaugurated ", said the new Minister of Education, Evis Kushi..
