Most of our students come from
villages. Their families are very big and their financial income
is too low. Financial help which they receive from communes is
not high enough. It hardly covers basic educational needs. Our
students have not received any financial help from European
Union to make educational chances equal

There are many so called
‘euro-orphan’ it means that one of the parents or sometimes both
of them left the country to work abroad and their children stay
in country and are looked after by their grandparents or older
brothers or sisters. In such situation, they have also more
duties to do at home and less time to learn.

Unemployment among our
students’ parents ranges from 5 to 20 percent. Such results are
caused by seasonal work.
