Abstract
This paper presents a general picture of the situation in the Albanian education system during the second half of the 60’s. Ideologisation and politicization of the society in Albania, dictated by the conditions, circumstances and aims of the Albanian communist leadership, in the context of revolutionizing the life of the country, and it affected the entire education system. Albanian educational institutions would now be designed upon a new philosophy. The changes would include all school categories, basic documentation, plans, curricula and textbooks, which would be subject to total “revolution” and “clearing”. The triangle “education – productive work – physical and military education” influenced by the Marxist-Leninist ideological axis would be the basis of the whole teaching process. Extreme ideology and politicization would penetrate in all the areas of the Albanian education system.
During the research work of the given case study, a qualitative method was generally applied by conducting a collective descriptive, explanatory and evaluative research: based mostly on historical facts and literature analysis.
