Besides normal schools in basic education there exist also special schools for students with limited abilities. The programme for such schools is done on a separate plan announced in the Guidance of MES for start of school year. Besides these types of schools there exist also schools for pupils from minorities which beside the normal subjects taught at school teach also the language of the respective minority situated in that area. 

In regard to special schools work is under way to transform such schools into resource centers. An interesting initiaive in this regard is also EU4teaching project implemented by  Open Society Albania and funded by the EU. Based on the finish experience the project has assessed the working group established in this regard and is working to draft a blueprint regarding transformation of special schools into resource centers.
