1 gen 1887 anni - First Albanian School Opened in Korqë

Descrizione:

Mësonjëtorja or The Albanian School was the first secular school in the Albanian language within Ottoman Albania.[1] It was opened in Korçë during the late Ottoman period.[2][1] The school building serves as a museum[2] and is located on the north side of Bulevardi Shën Gjergji (St. George Boulevard).

The opening of the school was a result of the Albanian National Movement which aimed to create an independent Albania and to secure denied rights to Albanian people within the Ottoman Empire. Among others Mësonjëtorja was an important center of cultural and patriotic education. The school's importance was raised because until then giving lessons in the Albanian language was done in private and secret due to Ottoman rule. The school opened its doors on 7 March 1887 and since then the day is celebrated by Albanians as the "Day of Teachers".
