After 35 million euros spent on digital classrooms and propaganda for the modernization of education, an auction by the Educational Services Center reveals that the state does not even have the basic equipment for international testing...
The Educational Services Center announced on April 10, 2026 a procedure to rent 133 computers for international student testing. In a country where the government has talked about digitalizing schools and has spent millions of euros on digital classrooms, this fact refutes the propaganda and exposes the real state of pre-university education.
When he came to power 13 years ago, Edi Rama promised to bring pre-university education out of its backwardness and turn it into a modern system, comparable to developed countries in the European Union.
For years, the government sold this promise as a reform in the making. There was talk of digital classrooms, modern equipment, technology in teaching, and a new Albanian school. During 2014-2019, 35 million euros were allocated for the establishment and completion of digital classrooms in several cities across the country.
But behind this propaganda facade, the real result remained bleak. Instead of a modernized system, scandals emerged with the disappearance of computers from schools and doubts about the real effect of investments made in the name of digitalization.
Even international testing results showed the true level of the system. Pre-university education in Albania showed no sign of the transformation promised by the government. On the contrary, international testing showed serious shortcomings in learning, curricula, and the overall quality of education.
And now the most shameful proof of this failure has emerged.

On April 10, 2026, the Educational Services Center under the Ministry of Education announced a procedure to rent 133 computers from private individuals for the needs of international student testing.
So, after all the propaganda about school modernization, the very institution that organizes and oversees the tests does not even have the basic computers available to conduct them. This is no longer a matter of technical lack. This is proof that the propaganda has moved much faster than reality.
If the Educational Services Center has been reduced to the point of renting computers for student testing, then it is not difficult to understand the real situation of schools across the country.
This fact fundamentally undermines the government's narrative about the digital school. It undermines the promise of modernization. It undermines the prime minister's boastful pride in an education system that, in practice, does not even have the minimal infrastructure to organize normal testing.
On paper, the government talked about reform. On the ground, Albanian education is renting computers.
And this is the most brutal definition of failure./ Pamphlet
