The Constitutional Court has decided to accept the request for the suspension of the law for medical students, which forced them to work for 5 years in hospitals within the country to be equipped with the diploma, or else they would have to pay the fee of full.<\/p>\n

In the decision made public this Tuesday, it is said that the Constitutional Court is expected to consider the matter in its merits.<\/p>\n

The law was sent for review to the court by a group of Democratic Party deputies and student representatives.<\/p>\n

“The acceptance of the request for the suspension of the implementation of the law no. 60\/2023 “On the special treatment of students who follow the integrated study program of the second cycle “General Medicine” in public institutions of higher education”, the court decision states.<\/p>\n

The law, which was passed in the parliament in July, obliges every medical student to be employed for a period of 3 to 5 years in hospitals within Albania in order to obtain a diploma.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, if students choose to go abroad, will have to pay a fee of 240 thousand new lek for each year of study.<\/p>\n

For several weeks, medical students have boycotted classes and held several protests to oppose the law that puts them before two forced elections.<\/p>\n

According to them, this law violates human freedoms and rights, and that’s why they appealed to the Constitutional Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
