Reading in Albania
- According to INSTAT, about 1 million Albanians, meaning more than 1/3 of our population, did not read any books last year.
- Of the 2,800,000 Albanians, only 44,000 have read more than 10 books a year.
- Another 102,000 have read from 5 to 10 books over the past year. But reading the newspapers continues to be limited. Only 583,000 reported reading newspapers daily, including online readings.
Reading is extremely important for the formation of any individual, so this process should begin at an early age. Of course, the parents are the first instigators for them, and then this responsibility goes to the teachers. Today, this reading initiative must be reinforced more than ever at an early age. Perhaps even today in this situation, isolation from COVID-19 may serve to read more books, or encourage your child to read a new book. Reading, these days makes your stay at home easier and why not, more fun.
