These are key points. In this regard, the European Union has also allocated special funding to support member countries in staying on the defined track and reducing child poverty while narrowing the gap that is of serious concern across the European space,\u201d Rama said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"2069\">\u201cOne of the areas where we aim for a quantitative and qualitative leap, and where we seek greater interaction with other partners, is addressing the situation of 16,000 children with special needs, who are beneficiaries of new support schemes but who at this stage deserve increased support from our side\u2014not only financial support but also institutional support. For this, the Ministries of Health and Education are working to increase the number of special education teachers. Just yesterday, we opened a new chapter in our healthcare system by launching the first hospital classrooms\u2014educational and art spaces\u2014so that children do not lose touch with learning, but are instead supported through a special curriculum that energizes them with confidence and the belief that they will overcome their illness,\u201d Rama stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex justify-start\">\n<div class=\"-me-1 -ms-2.5 flex select-none items-center p-1 touch:-me-2 touch:-ms-3.5 -mt-1 duration-[1.5s] focus-within:transition-none hover:transition-none pointer-events-none [mask-image:linear-gradient(to_right,black_33%,transparent_66%)] [mask-position:100%_0%] [mask-size:300%_100%] motion-safe:transition-[mask-position] group-hover\/turn-messages:pointer-events-auto group-hover\/turn-messages:[mask-position:0_0] group-focus-within\/turn-messages:pointer-events-auto group-focus-within\/turn-messages:[mask-position:0_0] has-[[data-state=open]]:pointer-events-auto has-[[data-state=open]]:[mask-position:0_0]\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"absolute\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Wednesday, the Regional Conference \u201cAccelerating Child Care Reforms Towards EU Membership\u201d is being held in Tirana.
