Kosovo’s house schools
In the 1990s young Albanians got their education crammed into private homes after Slobodan Milosevic’s Serb nationalist regime evicted them from schools and universities.
In 1990s Kosovo, a generation of Albanians received their education crammed into thousands of private homes.
When Slobodan Milosevic’s Serb nationalist regime forcibly evicted them from schools and universities, Kosovan Albanians responded with improvised house schools in their apartments, attics and cellars.
The spontaneous reaction to their ethnic exclusion quickly evolved into a nationwide education system that would endure for the best part of a decade.
Linda Gusia, a pupil in the house schools, and university professor Drita Halimi speak to Jack Butcher. A Whistledown production for Â鶹ԼÅÄ World Service.
