Due to difficult weather conditions and damage from recent floods and rainfall, several municipalities in the country have decided to postpone the resumption of the teaching process for the second semester of the 2025/2026 school year.
The municipalities of Malisheva, Drenas and Fushë Kosovë/Kosovo Polje are the municipalities that have made the decision to postpone the start of the teaching process.
The Municipality of Malisheva has decided to postpone the teaching process until January 14, 2026 due to rainfall and flooding that have created difficulties on the ground and damaged road infrastructure.
Drenas has also postponed the start of classes until Wednesday, being one of the municipalities facing the consequences of bad weather and damage to school infrastructure and roads.
Meanwhile, the municipality of Fushë Kosovë has announced that the start of the second semester in all schools will be on January 19, 2026, as current conditions, including traffic difficulties and heating problems, do not allow for the normal development of the learning process.
And unlike these municipalities, the teaching process in other municipalities will begin today.
The Municipality of Pristina announced that starting tomorrow, classes will be held in all schools, as the necessary conditions have been created for the safety of students and educational staff.
On the other hand, the president of SBASHK, Rrhaman Jasharaj, has requested that the start of the second semester be postponed for several days at the national level, emphasizing that low temperatures and unsuitable conditions in some schools pose a risk to the health of students and educational staff.
The second semester of classes was scheduled to begin on January 8th.
But, after the floods at the beginning of the week, the Ministry of Education postponed the launch to January 12th.
Kosovo has been facing major floods for a week, especially in some municipalities, where rivers have overflowed their banks. /Telegraph/
