From today's meeting of the Council of Ministers, the Minister of Education Mirela Kumbaro announced that in continuation of the legal changes of March, a new decision of the Council of Ministers supports the extension of the time spent in school that combines the mandatory program with activities within the framework of the "After School" program and, for this reason, has decided to double the honorarium with which hours outside the mandatory curriculum are rewarded, bringing it to 1000 lek per hour from 500 lek that was foreseen, as well as opening the list of cooperation beyond school teachers, with retired teachers, experts and specialists in arts, crafts, etc.

"This part of the program must be financially supported, which is why today the Council of Ministers decided to double the fee with which these compulsory extracurricular hours are rewarded to the figure of 10 thousand old lek per hour, for 60 minutes. It was foreseen 5 and we have reached 10.

Not only that, but we are opening the list of collaborators with teachers who are within the school system, who after completing the mandatory classes and perhaps do not have the energy to continue for another two or three classes, but we are opening this list, now with this decision, for teachers who are retired, who are active and want to be part of this program, for various specialists in the arts, music, and artisans," said Minister Kumbaro, extending an invitation to all figures in education, art, and sports who wish to contribute to this program.
