On March 7, Albania annually celebrates the professional holiday of educators - Teacher's Day. This holiday is designed to identify the important role of teachers in the education of the nation.
The choice of the date of March 7 as Teacher's Day in Albania is not accidental. Celebration is held precisely on March 7, because in 1887 the same day the first secular school with instruction in the Albanian language opened its doors. This school was located in the town of Korçë in the south-east of Albania.
This event became all the more significant, since until 1887 there was no possibility in the country to open Albanian schools: in the north and in the center of Albania this was hampered by the Catholic Church, and in the south - by the Orthodox Church.
Today, on Teacher's Day in Albania, festive events take place in schools, concerts are held. Students congratulate their teachers with flowers, postcards, memorable gifts.
