For the sake of argument, I'm assuming that tomorrow Edi Rama, Sali Berisha and all of today's parties disappear from the political scene. After all, one day they will disappear. But I'm assuming that it happens now. The students, professors and teachers who protest against them declare a major political victory.

What then?!

Did the school become better?! Albanian universities began to produce knowledge and diplomas of international value?! Did the students become more skilled and the teachers more capable?! Or will our graduates transform overnight into the intellectual elite of society?!

I ask this question because, in all this political noise, I have not heard any serious plan, not even a concrete request, for how Albanian education should change.

A system that, in my opinion, does not simply need reform, but needs to be built from scratch, according to a clear Western model, where a diploma is the result of knowledge and not its substitute.

For more than 30 years, our debate about education has been held hostage to a one-size-fits-all curriculum, haphazardly distributed diplomas, sold exams, fake grades, and plagiarized doctorates. We have produced academic degrees without science, degrees without skills, and universities that often resemble certificate factories more than institutions of knowledge.

While we continue to debate these old shames, the greatest technological revolution of our time has arrived at the door of education: artificial intelligence.

A revolution that is fundamentally changing the way knowledge is produced, transmitted, and used. That is questioning traditional teaching methods, the value of many textbooks, the content of university disciplines, and even the future of some professions for which our universities continue to award degrees.

The world is debating what to teach children in the age of artificial intelligence. We're debating which politician students should overthrow!

Now, can someone tell us how these challenges are solved by abandoning them to deal with politics?!

Let's be clear. Everyone has the right to protest. Students, professors, and teachers have just as much right as any other citizen to demand a change in government. Even, if they want, to become politicians themselves.

But political protest is not educational reform. And the overthrow of a government, or even an entire political caste, is not automatically a quality diploma for those who overthrow it.

My problem is not why students get involved in politics. The problem is why those who claim to represent knowledge do not demand with the same force a change in the system that is supposed to produce it.

In fact, the real question is what are we preparing for the future of this country.

Educated citizens, capable of thinking critically, creating, and competing in a rapidly changing world? Or another generation of graduates who, instead of knowledge, feed on the products of social media algorithms, propaganda, hatred, and militancy?!

What value is a university degree if its holder knows how to repeat a political slogan, but doesn't know how to construct a rational argument?!

I agree with the right of students to protest, even though the protesters do not necessarily represent the majority of students. I also agree with the handful of professors who have chosen to protest against the government. 

But I want to know what they are looking to change in education. What university model are they proposing? How will they connect knowledge to the job market? How will they end the inflation of diplomas and scientific titles? How will they adapt teaching to artificial intelligence? Why should a young person continue to waste 4+ years of their life in universities that are not even needed?! Is it worth the time and investment?!

These are questions that demand answers, and yes, I agree that the current political climate has not given them away. 

What do young people do?! That's the question. 

Because so far, instead of a movement for knowledge, I see mainly a mobilization for politics. And worse still, I see the risk of students being used as cannon fodder for political scum and as human shields for those who sell violence for revolution.

I'm sorry, but this has nothing to do with improving education, much less with its future and the country's. 

A country doesn't become more famous just because its students overthrow a government. It becomes more famous when its schools produce people who know how to think even without being told what to think by political parties.

Otherwise, we will continue to change governments, multiply diplomas, and produce illiterate people with scientific degrees.

And this is a much greater loss than losing any political battle.
