Conference on Albanian-language history textbooks and teaching in south-eastern Europe
Albanian-language history teaching is provided in five countries in south-eastern Europe, each with its own national school curricula whose needs and requirements the teaching has to take into account. Textbooks and curricula in this subject are accordingly diverse; some books used in schools are translations of the textbooks provided for the majority-language population in each country(where this majority language is not Albanian), whereas curricula are prescribed at national level in Albania itself and in Kosovo. The differences in perspectives on historical events from country to country poses a challenge to textbooks and curricula, raising the question of whether and how these divergent points of view and historiographies can be reconciled to one another in history teaching.
