From the parent's point of view, the situation is painful because after raising her child and sending this child to school, no mother would like to see her child leave the country for the reason of having a better life. I am not against finding better education and jobs abroad, but the situation has become a concern because everybody is leaving the country. If a country looses its youth, this will be painful for the parents and the country, in general. But, on the other hand, if we check about how much employment opportunities and perspectives are offered in this country, then this concern is even bigger. Seeing the situation from the perspective of a female entrepreneur, I have to say that we now have a new business activity in Kosovo – the processing of medicinal and aromatic herbs into organic tees and aromatic oils. This new activity requires for a new processing line, and it is here where we encounter the obstacles. We have been running a project for 3 months now and we have purchased an extractor for medicinal and aromatic herbs, but sadly we do not have any professionals capable of demonstrating and operating with this equipment. Last year my daughter finished primary school. My wish was that she enrolls the secondary in agriculture, since we have this family business now and therefore we would need new staff. But, I could not convince her to do so, and her reason was that only low grades students go to this school. The question raised here is – how come students in these schools achieve results when they only learn the theory and don't do any practical work at all, and how to change the vocational schools, so that they each year prepare young staff for employment. The same situation is with my other daughter, who will be in grade 10, and she has chosen to continue in the gymnasium. The opinion of the parent is that vocational schools should change their curricula completely and prepare new staff who besides theory are also involved in practical work. 59
