Summary/Abstract: The article aims to analyse the policies, issues, and priorities of the Ministry of Education in the Albanian state from October 1921 to February 1924. The analysis is based on the documentation of this institution found in the Central Archive of the Albanian State. The method used is primarily content-based text analysis. The documentation found was catalogued based on the topic addressed to create a map of the education priorities. During this period, two important laws were introduced to regulate the education system. Statistical summaries were also included to provide an overview of the status of teachers and the number, age, and gender of children attending schools. From the conclusions, it was found that despite short-lived governments and the challenges faced by a troubled and poor society, efforts were made to strengthen and improve the education system throughout the country. There are efforts to improve the quality of education by equalizing the school system in rural areas with that in urban areas, improving the curriculum and quality of instruction, encouraging the pursuit of education at a younger age, as is the initiative to open kindergartens, creating more opportunities, and drafting laws for education. Modernization of the system was also prioritized.
