TIRANA, Dec 21 /ATA/ – The Minister of Education and Sports Ogerta Manastirliu announced Saturday an action plan aimed at strengthening safety mechanisms in schools, affirming also complete ban of TikTok in schools throughout Albania for one year.
“The new action plan will be implemented over a three-year span of time and it is an ambitious plan and initiative that reflects our shared responsibility as a state, as institutions, as parents and citizens,” Education Minister remarked at a meeting with parents and teachers.
Manastirliu said that actions, including the tragic death of a student at “Fan Noli” school in Tirana, as well as the most incident in the village of Cakran, southern Albanian region of Fier, are a wakeup call for immediate and responsible actions to boost security measures in schools through enhanced cooperation between teachers and parents.

Civil society experts and UNICEF have also contributed to the new action plan designed to tackle issues like violence, bullying and safety online, as well as to strengthen prevention mechanisms in view of safety in schools in a bid to reduce and even eliminate any forms of violence in schools,” she stated.
