Vjollca Çavolli, the executive director of STIKK, has strongly advocated for integrating technology into education from a young age, highlighting its significance as a crucial element for Kosovo’s burgeoning IT sector. During the inaugural episode of the “Journey” podcast, she underscored the longstanding demand for coding inclusion within the educational system. Çavolli explained that the need for this integration has persisted for many years.
“Our association submitted a request as early as 2010, proposing that coding be introduced as part of the curriculum in the first grade of elementary school,” she stated. She believes technology shouldn’t be perceived as complex or intimidating for students or their families. Instead, it should be recognized as a fundamental skill essential for the future.
Drawing on her personal ambition – to become the initial programmer in Kosovo – and her subsequent leadership of the IT sector, Çavolli’s journey exemplifies this vision. The incorporation of coding in the first grade is a key element in shaping the next generation of tech professionals.
