Abstract

Historical changes and the lifestyle in Kosovo have caused the level of illiteracy to change from generation to generation; however, it was quite high before 1999. Although in the contemporary world it often seems taboo to talk about illiteracy and its form of expression, I have tried to present research in the Municipality of Drenas covering all age groups, to assess the illiteracy levels in the area. After the war, various actions were taken to open schools, to make learning possible even in more remote areas; however, there is still a fairly large number in which society in general is really facing illiteracy. The differences are evident in both age and gender, and as a result of this, I have approached this paper. Furthermore, the differences are not limited to rural and urban areas, but drastic and sensitive differences are also seen in gender representation, respectively, female education, and its emancipation. Drenas, as a municipality, has over 60 thousand inhabitants divided into 42 units and villages, which differ both due to infrastructure and educational conditions, while there are 30 primary schools and two secondary schools in general. The research was mainly conducted in 10 different villages, respecting both the regional distribution and different ages. I will also discuss institutions and their role in reducing illiteracy in the municipality of Drenas, and at the same time, the representation of women in public life, their education, and emancipation.
