Posted on 09/11/2026

The Center for School Leadership (CSL) continues its commitment to the professional development of principals in pre-university education with the launch of two new cohorts of the Compulsory Training Program (CTP), marking an important step toward the certification of principals of educational institutions.

The following cohorts have commenced their training:

Cohort IX of the Compulsory Training Program (CTP) for School Principals, with 270 participants.

Cohort III of the Compulsory Training Program (CTP) for Preschool Institution Principals, with 113 participants representing 24 Local Education Offices (LEOs) across Albania.

Through these programs, participants will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and strengthen their professional competencies in educational institution leadership and management. Particular attention will be given to developing skills in team leadership, decision-making, and the continuous improvement of institutional practices.

With the launch of these two cohorts, the total number of participants who have successfully completed CSL’s training programs has reached 2,878, representing all regions of Albania.

This milestone reflects CSL’s continued efforts to strengthen leadership capacities and prepare education professionals to respond effectively to the challenges facing educational institutions.

Investing in the professional development of school and preschool principals remains a key factor in building better-managed educational institutions and improving the quality of pre-university education in Albania.
