- Abstract
Albanian legislation deals with the right of national minorities to education in their mother tongue in accordance with the requirements and standards of international conventions and documents and is aligned with the best practices of EU countries for non-discrimination of national minorities. The analysis of the PIRE index points out that the implementation of this legislation is conditioned by the level of cooperation of communities belonging to national minorities with public institutions of pre-university education and local government bodies. The desire for education in their mother tongue, the economic-social, historical, cultural conditions, tradition, the size of the population and territorial distribution of each national minority community were evaluated as factors that affect the fulfill of this human right. Objective: The evaluation of fulfillment of the right to education in the mother tongue for national minorities in Albania and identification of problems and issues that must be addressed for the improvement of the legislation and for its effective implementation Methodology: The study was carried out using the data of perceptions collected by interviewing 516 citizens who belong to different national minorities in Albania. The assessment of the PIRE index and the quantitative assessments of its six component indicators were used to analyze the legislation that deals with the right of national minorities to education in their mother tongue and its implementation. Fulfillment of the right to education in the mother tongue for national minorities in Albania is assessed at the "Moderate" level.

The indicator that reflects the level of opportunities necessary for implementing the legislation was evaluate at the "Moderate" level. The engagement of public institutions, local government bodies and civil society was perceived as "Low". At a low level, citizens who belong to national minorities also perceive the results achieved for the preparation of qualified teachers and bilateral, kin-state and regional cooperation.Contributions: This study contributes to the academic discussion on issues related to Albania's obligation to fulfill the right of national minorities to education in the mother tongue.
