Abstract

After the First World War, the internal situation in Albania was very heavy. Education in Albania developed under theinfluence Italians, Austro – Hungarians and French in areas where they had control during war. By creating Lushnjagovernment, education problems begin to be treated with priority by the Albanian State.Thus the period from 1920 to 1935,characterized by a long struggle for unification, nationality and secularism of the school system. In this period, three pedagogicalcongresses were formed (1920, 1922, 1924) as well as an educational reform that will be entered in the history of Albanianeducation as the "Ivanaj reform." As unification, nationalism and secularism served to aid the emancipation and development ofeducation in Albania’s school system and society; for this reason, it is important to research, understand, and acknowledge thisperiod. Many studies have addressed the problems of secularism and nationalization within school unification and their effortshave been recognized; however, we think it would be helpful to make a new analytical overview of these problems whichmanifested the development of education in the aforementioned period based on previous studies and research.
