In 6 years and 8 teachers, the boy with autism problems remains without an

The next denunciation takes us to Durrës, to the 9-year-old school "Qemal Mici". A lady, the parent of a child with autism spectrum problems in the 6th grade, says that the child does not have an assistant teacher.

She says that in 6 years she changed 8 teachers, each time weaker than before. Currently, the role of assistant teacher is played by the visual art teacher, but the boy does not make progress.

"My child's teachers change every year. Assistant teacher and never had a special teacher. Finally, there should be a definitive teacher, not a 3-month old teacher and another 3-month old teacher. My child just learns with one teacher, she leaves and another teacher comes and every other teacher for my child is a step back and not a step forward. In these 6 years, 8 teachers have changed. Last year alone, he changed 3 teachers ", said the whistleblower.

"The first two weeks there was no teacher at all, I stayed there by myself and it was very good. With my unaided eye, no professor has had complaints, no parents and none of my child's classmates. The second two weeks now, Professor Altini came and I found the child not in class, but with a scream from the first floor to the fourth floor. The child is not aggressive, he just wants management. I am based because he told me that I am not of the profile and in the end that's all I can do, not that I don't want to, but that's all I can do. I make the distinction because in the third grade, my child had a non-special, but trained, somewhat specialized nipple for this area, and my child got used to and walked a lot with that nipple. My child was managed in every aspect very well by the nurse", the whistleblower further stated.

The lady has spoken to the principal of the school, but he says there is no teacher. He also went to the Durrës Education Office 4 times, but still got no solution.

"She told me that they do not accept the workplace of the specialized nurse because they are not definitive ," said the whistleblower.

The journalist of "Stop" also met with the director of the school, Eduard Prenga, who said that the assistant teachers go to those schools, where they are definitive, and for this she informed the ZVA Durrës.

"The law has a problem that teachers who are not of a special profile cannot become permanent, they will always be under contract. While I also told the parents, the teachers who were on the portal for special education, all chose other schools, so in this case the Education Office was forced to open the portal for teachers of other profiles", he said .

In this institution, the lawyer and member of the portal commission say that after receiving a request from the school, the vacant place is taken out on the portal and taken to the candidates, who are part of the portal, for special education.

When there is no interest in this job from the teachers of the profile, it is taken to other profiles.

After the intervention of "Stop", ZVA Durrës answered us in writing that an assistant teacher of language and literature with specialization in such issues was found for the little boy./ tvklan
