Kanye West/Boçi concert: Students and teachers are being used to create a

Democratic Party MP, Luciano Boçi, expressed in a reaction on social networks that educational institutions are being used to fill the stadium steps of the concert to be organized in Tirana with the participation of the artist Kanye West.

Through a reaction on social media, Boçi accuses the government of exploiting students and teachers to create a false image of a 'happy' Albania, describing this practice as another case of political use of education.

According to the Democratic MP, in addition to political supporters and electoral structures of the majority, school students are now also being involved.

Full reaction:

4 million euros is not enough for Rama to sell the image of a happy Albania, a beacon of architects and drug money on the shores of the Adriatic, with a Kanye West concert.

People are also needed to fill the concert.

And for this reason, the mobilization 'out of anger for the protest' is great.

It is not enough to have the desired or patrons as sellers of happiness, but we also need students.

And without a doubt, Kumbaro sacrifices the mission of school and education.

The message circulating indicates that schools are being asked to select high-achieving students and assign accompanying teachers, with the promise of free tickets to the Kanye West concert.

It seems like charity.

In fact, it's one of those gifts that has a little bit of propaganda poison inside and a lot of shame.

The Ministry of Education's task is to improve the quality of education, support teachers and students, and invest in schools, not to organize audiences for spectacles by transforming educational institutions into government marketing offices.

Students are not statistics to fill stadiums, and teachers are not activity commissioners.

This clearly official order is a disgrace!

The Ministry has the obligation to explain on what legal basis schools and educational personnel engage in an activity that is unrelated to the teaching process.

Education deserves respect, not to be used as decoration for a political spectacle. /CNA
