Qamil Hajdini, a mathematics teacher with over three decades of experience in education, believes his career has been fundamentally defined by his time in the classroom. Hajdini, who teaches at the “Zenel Hajdini” Elementary School in Pristina, emphasizes the significant value of initial teaching experience. He recounts the immediate reaction among educators when the Government reduced the bonus for work experience for newly qualified teachers by half.
Hajdini asserts that the initial year of experience holds the same importance as years of accumulated experience. “The year of experience is as valuable in the first year as it is after 15 years,” he explains. The impact extends beyond mere financial considerations.
Even a small bonus, such as 15 euros, could be utilized for essential expenses – “but the most important thing is that you feel bad when you see that your right is not respected,” Hajdini stated to Radio Europe Liberty. This situation highlights the broader concern regarding the devaluation of experience within the teaching profession. Hajdini’s perspective underscores the importance of recognizing and rewarding the dedication of educators, particularly those beginning their careers.
