When I first came to see the school, it looked very beautiful and brand new.

This can be seen in the motivation of teachers and educational staff, who now work in much better conditions, in clean and organized environments, with laboratories, heating, cooling, running water, and very clean bathrooms. Children come happily, teachers as well; it is a safe environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2026\" data-end=\"2247\">In <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Shijak<\/span><\/span>, a parent whose children attend the \u201cShtojzovallet\u201d kindergarten told <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Euronews Albania<\/span><\/span> that she is very pleased with the conditions offered by the institution.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2249\" data-end=\"2514\">\u201cCleanliness is at the highest level, safety is extremely high, and this reflects very suitable and modern conditions.
