TIRANA, Jan 31 /ATA/ – The Minister of Education and Sports Ogerta Manastirliu said Wednesday that as many as 25 artificial intelligence labs have been established in various schools across Albania to date, vowing that more smart AI labs will be established and number of beneficiaries from technology programs will grow constantly.
Education Minister visited the newly-installed AI lab at Myslim Keta high school in Tirana neighborhood.
“The fact that 25 schools have been equipped with AI labs to date means that around 2000 students will be trained for the artificial intelligence programs within two years, while more than 140 teachers will join this huge network of teachers, who will receive further training on information technology. The number of the smart labs and the number of beneficiaries from these labs will keep growing,” Manastirliu said.
“Myslym Keta” high school in Kombinat neighborhood, Tirana, is undergoing a reconstruction project under the EU4Schools programme being implemented by UNDP.
Education Minister said that the school will be totally transformed to offer contemporary standards. The reconstruction project includes expansion of school capacities, construction of a new gym and a school library.
Albanian government is implementing an ambitious project of establishing hundreds of more smart labs in schools across Albania during this year.
Under this project, more than 680 smart labs will be established in 627 schools across the country, increasing the availability of computer labs for students in their pre-university cycles and enhancing computer programming skills.
