Introduction
The Department of Education and Science (DES) was created as one of the first steps towards creating a new education system. It was followed by the creation of a legal and professional infrastructure to facilitate the fundamental reformation of the education system (5 + 4 + 3-4 in the general and professional education as well as the Bologna agreement for high education), and the establishment of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in March 2002 .During the period of time it took to establish this system the private schools flourished.
In Kosovo primary and low secondary education for everyone aged 6 to 15 years is mandatory. By law, Kosovo guarantees equal equation to all communities. Primary and secondary education in Kosovo are free of charge and are financed by the budget of Kosovo.
Education is available in both public and private institutions. There are many options when it comes to choosing an educational institution. Examples of both are provided below.
Preschool education:
The preschool education system is divided into three levels:
1.Kindergarten (children 1-2 years old)
2.Kindergarten (children 3-4 years old)
3. Pre-primary class (children of 5 years old).
In the academic year 2012/2013, there were 8 preschool institutions in Pristina. The total number of children enrolled in these institutions was 1,886 out of which 874 were females. The ethnic composition in these institutions in the same academic year was 1,858 Albanians, 6 Bosnia's and 22 Turkish.
Primary and Low Secondary Education
According to the law the primary education (1-5) and low secondary education is mandatory for everyone. The mandatory education begins when the child reaches 6 years of age (the minimal age of mandatory education. The low secondary education is the second phase of mandatory education which includes classes 6-9, generations 12 to 15 years of age, respectively. The education in primary schools in Kosovo is held in five languages: Albanian, Croatian, Turkish, Bosnian, and Serbian.
In Prishtina, in the academic year 2012/13, there were 59 schools out of which 57 provided lectures in Albanian language only and 2 schools that provided mixed language lectures.Total number of students as of 2013 was 32,140 out of which 15,476 were females.The average number of student per class in Prishtina in the academic year 2012/13 was 24.6.In the same academic year, primary and lower-secondary education was attended by 31,898-Albanians, 23-Bosnians, 64-Ashkali, and 152-Turkish.
High Secondary education, Gymnasiums, and Professional schools
The high secondary education is divided in two main types of education: the general and professional education. The high secondary education lasts 3 years. All students are entitled to pursue this level on voluntary basis. The main goal of the secondary professional education, which includes professional schools, is to prepare the students for labor market, but it also offers possibilities of applying for higher post-secondary or university studies. This type of education is organized in eight types of schools, where the classes are held in several profiles.Notable High Schools in Kosovo are Gjimnazi Sami Frasheri, American School of Kosovo, Don Bosko, Xhevdet Doda etc.
Special Education
In accordance with the law on education, the rights to special education in Kosovo have those children that don’t have or are not able to have normal education. In Kosovo there are total of 7 schools for special education and 64 adjoining classes. However,during the 2011/12 academic year, only 33% of children with special needs were enrolled in education institutions.This means too many children are missing out on their right to have their abilities developed early and arrive in school with an inadequate learning foundation.
To help the special education sector in Kosovo in coordination with MEST and Municipal Education Directorates, UNICEF has continuously supported the capacity development of teachers in 7 municipalities with 7 pilot schools through three Training of Trainers workshops with 3 Modules on inclusive education.
Homeschooling in Kosovo
Legal status of homeschooling: Despite legal provisions that recognize the option of home schooling, there are no arrangements for its implementation in Kosovo. By law, “if the municipality estimates that a child of compulsory school age in their area is not receiving suitable education, either by regular attendance at school or otherwise, and is not the subject of permanent expulsion under the Law, it shall serve a notice in writing on the parents requiring the parents to satisfy the municipality within the period specified in the notice that the child is receiving such education whether at home or otherwise.” And further, “if the parents respond that the child is being educated outside the formal education and training system, either publicly-funded or private, the arrangements made by the parents, and the inspection arrangements, shall be subject to the approval of the Ministry, having consulted the relevant municipality” (Pre-University Law, 2011).
Higher Education
It can be received in Universities and Institutions of high professional education. This can be done in public or private institutions. These educational institutions offer studies for Bachelor, Master and PhD. The students may choose full-time or part-time studies.
Under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology was established the High Education Department (HED). The primary duties of the HED are planning and overseeing of the development of high education system. HED also carries out the Recognition of documents obtained from studies abroad and verifies the documentation of our citizens willing to study abroad.
The Kosovo Strategic Plan for Higher Education in Kosovo (KESP) for the period 2011-2016 is entering its third and final implementation phase, while the new KESP for the period 2017-2021 is in the process of development.

Xhevdet Doda Gymnasium(High School)
The Xhevdet Doda Gymnasium was built in the beginning of the 20th century and served as a prison in the interwar period. It hosted different schools before it finally became home to the Xhevdet Doda Gymnasium until 2007. Located in the heart of the city, during the ‘90s, it was the only Albanian-language high school allowed by the Milosevic regime to remain in its facilities. This was a propagandistic maneuver by the regime to support its claims that Albanians were leading normal lives. The building’s demolition in 2008 to build the Mother Teresa Cathedral, a proposal set forth by President Ibrahim Rugova, erased the abundant history of this site entirely.

Irisa Shala dit :
Hi everyone, do you have any idea on the construction of the page?
Enit Dragusha dit :
Hi, we could have an introduction of what public schools and private schools are but then what do we do next?
Melanie Meier dit :
Then give some examples? Examples could be all of Kosovo or shall we focus on one city or area?
We can cite the constitution and any particular laws as well. Is there a Ministry of Education, or other type of institution that oversees education?
For example, is education mandatory for all citizens or residents? to what level? Is it free?
Aridon Musliu dit :
I think it would be better to focus on public schools and private schools generally and then discuss a little bit about Kosovo.
Enit Dragusha dit :
i think we should focus in Prishtina
Tarik Sen dit :
Maybe we can choose three big cities and focus on them
Miska Helin dit :
Since I am not from here and not familiar with the school system in Kosovo maybe I could write something about Finnish schools to give contrast to how the systems differ in Europe. How does it sound?
Enit Dragusha dit :
that would be cool but, all of us need to focus on an idea
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
I think that a leader of this group would be a better idea. Can like someone take the responsibility to assign to others what we should work on.
Miska Helin dit :
should we have a team meeting after the class so we can discuss how we are going to do this
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
Yes, it would be great. We can stay just 5 min after class and discuss. But can we like notify everyone so they know.

I am creating them and an you please put the info in there?
I think it would look a bit better like that...
Melanie Meier dit :
Ok, but the assignment is to create a page......
This doesn't look correct:
Looks like public schools is a sub-sub page to Home while private schools is its own sub page? This is getting a bit complicated, before we even have information.
Irisa Shala dit :
You have the links attached in the table at the top of the page
Melanie Meier dit :
any reason you deleted the Kosovo flag?
do you have a better image? Maybe the emblem of the Ministry of Education or something?
Irisa Shala dit :
No, haven't found anything else yet, however you can put it again I just removed it to put the heading table
Melanie Meier dit :
I don't remember who is doing the intro and background, but I have added some statistical information and the links to the report in case you would like to use them.
Irisa Shala dit :
Don't worry it was me and Pllumb, however thank you for the contribution
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
Pellumb and Irisa - Intro
Melanie and Miska - Private Shcools
Tarik, Enit and Aridon - Public Schools
Enit Dragusha dit :
i think we should delete those sub-pages
Irisa Shala dit :
Yeah we removed them
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
Hey guys, I think this kind of layout is better so we can put pictures on the right and text on the left.
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
http://www.beinkosovo.com/education-in-kosovo/
A nice article for universities. Mabey it can help you.
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
I kinda changed the headings, for example (introduction, background, public school, private school) should be Heading 1. The other titles should be heading 3 and if we decide to do a table of content it will look better.
Melanie Meier dit :
I can't read some of this......
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
It's lorem ipsum if that's what you mean
Melanie Meier dit :
But why? Just to fill space?
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
The professor said that it's better to put lorem ipsum rather than copy and paste articles. Until I and Irisa find articles and edit them (paraphrase) I'm putting lorem ipsum
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
Please look at how I divided into sections. Please do so your self since it helps you organise and it looks better.
Melanie Meier dit :
I like your divisions. You are free to organize and make things look better everywhere haha! See you in a few minutes!
Melanie Meier dit :
So is that what you wanted? pictures on one side and text on the other - alternating sides like the introduction section at the top?
Irisa Shala dit :
So do I have to remove the new pages, since i can see that we almost have the full page in the home part?
Irisa Shala dit :
People can you please tell me if you are okay with creating three separate pages for home, public, and private schools?
Can you please respond so that I can create them..
Aridon Musliu dit :
Regarding the Public school section I think we should seperate it into three sub section of elementary, secondary and higher education and then put them at the content page in the intro
Aridon Musliu dit :
I have found an article that talks about pre-school education in Kosovo. Do you think it would be a good idea to add it at the public schools section.
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
yeah we kinda did that with Irisa but I putted lorem ipsum just until we get the real text, basically its in the introduction
Aridon Musliu dit :
yes but i think it would be a better idea to put it on the public schools section since it even gives number of children that are educated there
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
okej do so, lets see how it looks. If we dont like it we can delete it
Melanie Meier dit :
Who can go through the whole page to make sure all the headings are the same - heading level, font size & type, color, etc?
Do we want to do a format for each example school like:
Facts
Name
Location (with link to map)
Website
Description (narrative)
??
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
Nice idea
Irisa Shala dit :
I will take care of this part
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
Hey guys,
until Sunday afternoon you can work on the text, pictures, and citation.
Just so after that and on Monday we can look at the design and make the final changes.
Thank you
And please respond here with an ok just so I know you got the message.
Miska Helin dit :
ok!
Irisa Shala dit :
I told you that we are going to do some sub pages, however we decided to keep only one. Sorry I totally forgot to reach out to you.
Irisa Shala dit :
Okay canim !
Melanie Meier dit :
ok
Aridon Musliu dit :
This is a link to an article named Kosovo's education system. It contains statistics, tables and general information regarding everything that our wiki is about. We can take info here and use it for the content like preschools and elementary schools etc.

Irisa Shala dit :
I liked the article a lot
Irisa Shala dit :
Please comment if you have any new ideas.
Irisa Shala dit :
Do we have to cite the photos in the reference part?
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
we should actually irisa
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
People that have the public school section
Can you please add more pictures and write about elementary schools.
Also, I will be doing some design and adding them
Pellumb Hajdari dit :
also add pictures
Aridon Musliu dit :
I believe that we should have left the names of the sections the same as they were rather (as inserted pics) rather than leaving them as headings.
Aridon Musliu dit :
Regarding the Public Schools section and all the other parts of the wiki I think we should cite the pictures underneath the picture. You can take as an example the way that I cited the University of Pristina logo.
Aridon Musliu dit :
This way it looks more organized and clean both on the page and the references page will not be all cluttered up
Melanie Meier dit :
Why isn't the private school info showing on the table of contents? Do the headings need to be adjusted?
Should the table of contents be at the beginning, or at the very top of the page?
Melanie Meier dit :
I was able to adjust the headings so the private schools show now.
Still wondering about the location of the table of contents.
Aridon Musliu dit :
I think we should change the location of the table of contents since I believe it would be better for it to be at the beginning of the wiki rather than the location that it is now.
Melanie Meier dit :
So the part about Xhevdet Doda is interesting, but does it belong on our page?
It seems to be history and a political statement. If we keep it we should probably introduce it as a historic example of part of the changes to the education system? Or label it as an informational fact?
Melanie Meier dit :
I put it as historic fact.... is this okay with everyone?
I think the table of contents finally looks ok.
Although the title photo says "table of content" normally it is "table of contents" although "table of content" is gramatically ok......
Melanie Meier dit :
nooooooo!! what just happened to the table of contents?????
I spent a bunch of time getting all the headings to match and now they are all gone???
Melanie Meier dit :
at least clean it up so the format matches and there is not an empty bullet
Melanie Meier dit :
you think this looks better?
Irisa Shala dit :
I think that these are the main things that should be included, however i can change it if you guys really want to
Melanie Meier dit :
you already changed it
Irisa Shala dit :
It wont be a problem for me to change it again and make the changes you guys want to. i just thought that this way it would look more organized, perhaps
Irisa Shala dit :
Please tell me if you guys want the table of contents in the upper part of the page and do you like it as it is or do you want to include more things
Irisa Shala dit :
anddd do you want it with the extend version or not?
Leke Miftari dit :
Great job overall! However, I had to scroll horizontally for some of the images and it just looked a bit untidy. Either way - well presented!
Agnesa Tahiri dit :
I like the amount of information that is given, the only problem is the paragraph organization.
Hana Gashi dit :
I agree with Leke and Agnesa, but overall I think you did a great job on your wiki.
Blerta Kapllani dit :
I would suggest working on structuring the statistic part with the tables as they are a little misplaced and also would prefer neutral colors on the tables of the contributors as it looks very detached from the rest of the page, other than that the work is well done!
Valentina Ukaj dit :
Try to fix the layout and order of the paragraphs and pictures related to them, other than that I think you did a good job!
Enit Dragusha dit :
i think we should remove the table of contents on top of the kosovo logo
Irisa Shala dit :
where do you suggest to put it?
Argjenda Gashi dit :
I like your wiki a lot! I just think that you should not leave that much space at the "Xhevdet Doda (high school)" part.
Aridon Musliu dit :
Shouldn't we all edit on our parts for now and in the end we can choose to edit everything together since we are making it harder for each other to work?
Enit Dragusha dit :
ill fill the xhevdet doda part with lorem ipsum until we find information
Melanie Meier dit :
????
Irisa Shala dit :
Can someone add some info in the "Background Statistics and Useful Facts" part
Melanie Meier dit :
Looks like it was all deleted. Do you want it back?
Shouldn't we be finished as the rest of the class is making comments?
Irisa Shala dit :
I mean text content because it is kind of hard to make it look good with the screenshots that were placed earlier
Zana Misini dit :
I really like what you did with the intro and with the way that you guys used some of the macros! However, i think that the pictures could be maybe a bit bigger so that they could better catch the eye of the person who is reading. Overall, great job, and very informative.
Art Kelani dit :
this is the best group i think, they did a really good job , everything was really informative and it was easy to see everything . Really good job lads!
Anid Hoxha dit :
The content is rich but what should this group focus on is at the putting the info together and more attractive for the reader. Overall good job.
Irisa Shala dit :
Can someone please tell me the meaning behind the "famous institutions" text, because I'm not sure if i can understand why is it there?
Sorry for asking too many questions guys...!
Melanie Meier dit :
I asked this earlier, and now why is "famous institution" on the table of contents twice, and in the wrong place?
Irisa Shala dit :
I have no idea i did not put it, can someone who put it please tell me if i can remove it ?
Irisa Shala dit :
Pellumb Hajdari can you please take care of the link in the website icon at the Finish school section, and can you please dd another icon just like that one in the British school section
