Students of the Faculty of Education at Isa Boletini University in Mitrovica continued their
journey in the world of inclusive education on 23.05.2024 with a second study visit to the
Resource Center for Learning and Counseling Xheladin Deda in Peja. Accompanied by Ass
Arbesa Uka and Ass Hatixhe Gashi, they had the opportunity to get to know more closely the
transformation of this center from a special school to a resource center with a wide impact on the
education of Kosovo.
The transformation from a special school to a resource center is an important step for the
countrys education. This process has made the Xheladin Deda Center to offer regular
education not only in its facility in Peja, but also to integrate blind and visually impaired students
in regular schools. This new approach first started in the region of Peja and then spread
throughout Kosovo employing traveling teachers as a bridge between regular schools and
resource centers.
The students of the Faculty of Education had the opportunity to get to know the work and
commitment of the teachers, students and staff of the Xheladin Deda Center. As a sign of
respect for their work, they have donated a portrait of Isa Boletini.
On the other hand, the director of the Xheladin Deda Center expressed his gratitude for the gift
and donated some books on inclusive education to the academic staff of the Faculty of
Education. This exchange of gifts is a sign of the cooperation and dedication of both institutions
for the advancement of education and the inclusion of all students in the educational process.
The second study visit of the students of the Faculty of Education to the Xheladin Deda
Resource Center is proof of their commitment to understand and contribute to the field of
inclusive education. This experience is an important step towards a more inclusive education for
all students in Kosovo.
