Today in 2023 there are still many remote villages that suffer for the most basic and basic services such as roads and schools.
Fiksi this evening aired the problems that the few remaining residents have already in one of the deepest villages of Berat, the village of Levan. This village has an amortized road, which has caused students to no longer attend school, even the compulsory one.
Tired of complaining to institutions that don't even respond, they left the blame on fate that they were born in this village.
The denunciation in Fiks Fare of the bad road that hinders children's education was made by a former resident of the village of Levan, who has emigrated and lives in America. She has returned to the place where she was born and raised, but is faced with a ruined country, unlike what she remembered from her childhood. Together with the residents, the journalists of Fiks made the most difficult part of the road on foot, where it could be passed, they moved with a pick-up truck.
Residents say that it has been more than 20 years since the road of their village and the roads of the neighborhoods have not been stopped. As the weather cools and the rain falls it becomes almost impassable. There have also been accidents with children on this road, precisely on their way to school, but fortunately they escaped safely.
"I'm afraid to take my children to school, especially my son to preschool, who will be held in his lap and with the vicissitudes of the road where I know his head won't hit the glass," says a mother. While the other residents explain that the van that collects them takes them to the center where the school building is that has already closed its doors.
But for the children to gather there is a separate story. "I bring my daughter here every morning from my house and take the van every half hour in the morning and when she returns. Why?! That there is no way to get to my neighborhood" - says another resident. Problems that everyone has.
Fiksi went to the home of some of these children who, even though they are good students and want to attend school, find it impossible.
Ana, a 9th grade student, cannot attend school this year. She's signed up and got the books, but her notebooks are still as clean as the day they were bought. She has a deformity problem in her body, which makes it difficult for her to walk, but also to carry a bag.
Her father claims for Fiksi that it is impossible for the girl to walk to the place of the van, let alone carry the bag. Someone should definitely accompany him, but they don't have the opportunity. They have found a solution, even though they don't want it, for Ana to stay at home.
Sidorela is like Ana, who grew up and lives with her grandparents after her parents divorced and each of them restarted their lives with new spouses. The grandmother says that she cannot let her daughter go to school alone, as she is at a difficult age. Last year she had another friend, but this year she is alone.
Even the few times he went to school, he had to wait over 2-3 hours for the van, as he also collects children from other villages. After class, I have to wait in the bar and in areas surrounded by men. For this reason, the grandmother and Sidorela herself have decided to stay at home.
"I want to go to school, I'm also a very good student, but if there was a way for the van to pick me up here and bring me, it would be great," says Sidorela. The grandmother asks for the same thing in order not to leave her granddaughter without school, she even claims: I pay for the van myself, but only if they bring the way for me to come!
Residents asked by Fiksi that the education of children in the 9-year system is mandatory, answer that they know, even the school director went and visited them at home, making it clear to them once again. "We want to take them, but there is no way. This is what we are looking for."
Fiksi was also interested in the United High School "Jani Todi" Sinjë, where the director, even though he requested authorization from the education office to speak out, affirmed that he knew the problem and had reported it. But in a phone call with the Berat Education Office, the judge stopped him from communicating with journalists.
Fiksi also met the driver of the van, who claimed that the condition of the road was very bad and that this year he wanted to close it as a job, but at the request and respect of the parents, he took over the transport this school year as well.
"The road is scandalous, in a part of it a car runs over me. I'm also afraid for the children that there will be an accident. I'll go to prison except for the disaster" - he says. He says that he collects the children of three villages and that after school the children of Levan have to wait for 2-3 hours before he picks them up and takes them to their destination.
In these conditions, Fiksi also addressed the administrator, as the residents said that they had offered to invest both in people and in the economic side, but that they wanted help from the local government. The latter told Fiksi that everything is normal in Levan, both the road and the transport of children.
There may have been 'words' from the residents, as he calls them, but there has been no written request in his office. Asked by journalists if he had recently visited the village road, he said "Yes, I have been and it is normal, we have intervened when we have deemed it necessary".
But what seems normal to the administrator, is not normal for an entire village and above all the children who seek knowledge are suffering.
