== Overview ==



''Albania'', officially the '''Republic of Albania''', is a Mediterranean country in South Eastern Europe. It is bordered by [[Montenegro]] to the north, [[Kosovo]] to the northeast, [[Macedonia]] to the east and [[Greece]] to the south-east. It has a coast on the [[Adriatic Sea]] to the west, and on the [[Ionian Sea]] to the southwest. It is less than 72 km (45 mi) from [[Italy]], across the Strait of Otranto which links the [[Adriatic Sea]] to the [[Ionian Sea]]. Albania is a member of the United Nations, NATO, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Council of Europe, World Trade Organisation, Organisation of the Islamic Conference and one of the founding members of the Union for the Mediterranean. Albania has been a potential candidate for accession to the European Union since January 2003, and it formally applied for EU membership on 28 April 2009. Albania is a parliamentary democracy and a transition economy. The Albanian capital, [[Has capital::Tirana]], is home to approximately 895,000 of the country's [[Has population::3,600,000]] people, and it is also the financial capital of the country. Free-market reforms have opened the country to foreign investment, especially in the development of energy and transportation infrastructure.

=== Albania education policy ===
(sourced from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Albania)

The literacy rate in Albania for the total population, age 9 or older, is about 99%. Elementary education is compulsory (grades 1-9), but most students continue at least until a secondary education. Students must successfully pass graduation exams at the end of the 9th grade and at the end of the 12th grade in order to continue their education.

Most schools are public and financed through the government, but recently several private schools of various levels have been opened.

There are about 5000 schools throughout the country.

The academic year is divided into two semesters. The school week begins on Monday and ends on Friday. Depending on the academic level, the school year usually begins in September or October and finishes around June or July. There is a winter break of about two weeks.

* Preschool education (çerdhe or kopësht): 1–4 years
* Primary education (9-vjeçare): 9 years (8 years prior to 2008)
* Secondary education:
** Regular (e mesme or gjimnaz): 3 years
** Vocational or Technical (teknike): 2–5 years
* Tertiary education:
** Bachelor and Master degrees (of 3 years and 1.5–2 years respectively
* Quaternary education (doktoratë): 3 years
