International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Studies in Education and Social Sciences (ICSES) (Istanbul, Turkey, Nov 7-10, 2024)
The Albanian language until it became a written and a spoken language to all of the Albanians, passed through a long and a difficult path. If you go back in time, you see how many efforts were made to preserve Albanian language and identity. Albanian intellectuals and patriots got their visionary aim of its preservation at all costs. Albanian efforts walk parallel with the need for the establishment of educational institutions and the protection of the Albanian territories. 19th century marks the peak of developments, at home and abroad, in coordination between Renaissance intellectuals for a single purpose: Albanian language education. After the League of Prizren there is an increased number of Albanian schools and an organised movement with this aim -- Albanian language. In this paper we will focus on the cultural and educational institutions in Shkodra, to look closely at their role in the development of the city and the region. Shkodra according to the cultural and educational institutions has been one of the major economic centres in Albania. These institutions have been numerous and have directly influenced social life, not only of Shkodra, but also that of the region. Documents and materials from the city libraries whether public or private, or from the archives of museums of that time show us how important was this period for the Albanian language education. In this work we will identify the development that these schools take in this period and their importance for the development of education in Albania. [For the complete proceedings, see ED672802.]
