SOCIAL ISSUES OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN ALBANIA AND TODAY'S WORLDVIEW OF KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

If we take a look at past developments and today's changes, anyone can readily notice that society has been involved in a rapid development. So if we notice the change in the form and content of cars, or electrical appliances, home appliances, cameras, computers, mobile phones, etc, we can understand how much they have changed and evolved. But if we take the same view in the field of education, we see that our schools today have changed very little. We are still at the stage when students sit in rows and the teacher is at the center, the student is still very little entitled to claim to be autodidact in creating his knowledge and we still see the teacher as the only source of knowledge.The school has been transformed into a planned process that prepares individuals for a world planned and organized in institutions. Time ago, schools prepared individuals for a secure and recognizable future, but in today's reality, schools have to prepare safe individuals for an unknown, changeable and completely uncertain future, so, nowadays the education challenge is to establish sustainable education in a rapidly changing society.From this point of view this paper attempts to analyze and provide answers to the actual education system and new learning opportunities. Installing a different knowledge while retaining its power and not the same knowledge for everyone by expanding its power.This analysis aims to change the concepts and outlook for a more efficient functioning of the education system in Albania, as well as give policy makers recommendations on how our system should change to better fit to the pace of time and prepare individuals capable for life and society.
