Deputy Minister Agim Nuhiu Ph.D., on behalf of the Ministry of Education and Science, congratulated the “Mother Teresa” University for organizing the Conference, and emphasized the fact that our country faces a large migration flow including the young generations.
Migration flows in recent years have included millions of citizens in EU countries. EU member states, within one year, granted citizenship to about 1 million migrant citizens. We assume that those who migrate also aim for economic success, and this success is to a large extent determined by educational training and the skills to find themselves in the labor market’, said Deputy Minister Nuhiu.
The conference was held in two sessions where the candidates from the country, region and Europe presented their scientific research to the participant.
