Authorities in Korçë, Albania, have conducted multiple investigations into safety and conduct issues at local kindergartens.

In early October, a criminal investigation was launched after six children exhibited gastrointestinal symptoms following food consumption at a local kindergarten. Legal proceedings for “misuse of duty” were initiated against a pediatrician at the Korçë Regional Hospital for failing to notify authorities of the symptoms, and against a kindergarten director for failing to verify the food consumed by children.

Later in the month, an educator at Kindergarten No. 6 was arrested following allegations of physical abuse against a 4-year-old child. The arrest followed reports from a parent who alleged the teacher acted aggressively toward both the child and the parent. The incident prompted calls for increased institutional oversight and security checks within childcare facilities.
