Postwar Albania’s education system, considered a tool for propagating communism and creating the academic and technical cadres necessary for construction of a socialist state and society, has improved dramatically.

The number of schools, teachers, and students has doubled between 1945 and 1950.

Illiteracy has declined from perhaps eighty-five percent in 1946 to thirty-one percent in 1950.

The Soviet Union provides scholarships for Albanian students, supplies specialists, and study materials to improve instruction in Albania.
