Education Minister presented the innovative labs model, saying over 35 000 primary school pupils will be included in the new computer coding curriculum.

Focusing on importance of helping schoolchildren develop digital learning and innovation skills, Education Minister announced that installation of 216 smart labs in 200 schools across the country has completed and the new labs will become operational at the beginning of the new school year in September.

“More than 35 000 schoolchildren – first to third grade – will be included in the new coding curriculum this year. In the meantime, we are reviewing the digital education curriculum for pupils – first to ninth grade – as well as the curriculum for the high school students. It is important for us to provide schoolchildren with the opportunity to develop digital skills and we are working on completing our information technology curriculum to integrate it with other subjects,” Manastirliu said.

Education Minister also said that a total of 600 new laboratories are projected to be installed in the ninth-year and high schools across the country in the next two years, based on a unified model designed to build a new and contemporary educational infrastructure in Albania.
