Cultural and Educational Impact of New Formation Perspectives of Parashqevi Qiriazi

Abstract

The realization of teaching programmes became one of the most important privileges during the Albanian National Movement. One of the major representatives who elaborated a new teaching programme of the Albanian educational system during the first decade of the twentieth century, based on the deepened analysis of the ottoman and United States teaching system, it was the teacher and the director of the school for Little Girls, Parashqevi Qiriazi. In her new proposals, Qirjazi included various pedagogical theories relevant to the European context denoting a contemporaneous scientific preparation. In order to realize the patriotic education, the Albanian woman, like the Albanian patriots have so far sustained in general on their books and articles, their own civilization should come first, that is teaching implied. It was difficult to avoid the situation of the Albanian women at the time, which also was pending on the social developments within the insiders of the ottoman society.
