The education system in Albania has undergone significant transformations in recent decades,
reflecting the country's efforts to modernize and align with international standards. Albania's education
system has evolved substantially since the end of communist rule in the early 1990s. Reforms have aimed
to expand access to education, improve the quality of teaching and learning, and enhance the relevance of
the curriculum to meet the needs of a changing society. Reforms have outlined ambitious goals for
improving educational attainment, enhancing teacher training, and promoting lifelong learning
opportunities. However, despite progress in various areas, there remains a gap in the availability of
comprehensive and up-to-date surveys that provide insight into the effectiveness and challenges of the
education system. While some data on enrolment rates, literacy levels, and infrastructure are available,
there is a lack of systematic surveys that provide detailed insights into the quality of education, learning
outcomes, and the socio-economic factors influencing educational attainment. Surveys that capture the
perspectives of students, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders are essential for understanding the
challenges facing the education system and identifying areas for improvement. One area where surveys are
notably missing is assessing the effectiveness of teaching and learning practices. Additionally, surveys that
examine the availability and quality of educational resources, such as textbooks, technology, and facilities,
are essential for ensuring equitable access to education. This paper aims to present the education system
problems in Albania and highlights the absence of critical surveys needed to inform evidence-based
policymaking and improve educational outcomes.
