Albanian educator discusses religious and national identity

Artur Shkurti, director of the school ‘Udha e shkronjave’, has addressed the role of religious and national figures in global and national education. The discussion centers on the synthesis of religious beliefs within the context of Albanian identity.

In the book ‘BESA, feja ime, e fëmijëve të mi dhe e bujarëve shqiptarë’, figures such as Naim Frashëri are highlighted for their role in synthesizing religious beliefs. The text notes that while Gonxhe Bojaxhiu (Mother Teresa) is cited 37 times for her religious nature, the work aims for a broader Albanian national education, incorporating various poets and thinkers from the 19th and 20th centuries to foster both spiritual and national consciousness.
