THE WORLDWIDE FAMOUS PAINTERS

SCHOOLING
•Adem Kastrati's schooling journey is also a story in itself. His schooling, not only has lasted a little longer than it should, but, at
the same time, he has been accompanied by various problems, difficulties and vicissitudes. More for economic reasons, but
sometimes also for political reasons, as the painter himself has stated, more than once he has been forced to drop out of school
and is sometimes expelled from school. in Adem's life was played by a very important moment that happened in 1942, when for
the first time he came across an Albanian book. Indeed, in the autumn of that distant year, the Primer entered his house for the
first timein Albanian, which, along with several other books, had been brought to him by his uncle, Tefiku. Adem Kastrati had the
good fortune to attend primary school exactly during the years when in those parts of Kosovo , as in all Albanian lands, were
distributed the teachers of the first generations who had come out of the Normal of Elbasan . The first teachers are the most
deserving who during the 40s of the XX century, planted and spread Albanian education throughout the Albanian lands. Adem's
first teacher was Mehmet Turani from Elbasan, which was characterized by pedantry and seriousness at work. Although Kastrati
had been taught by some other teachers, the best impression was left by teacher Mehmet himself, for whom he said: "None of
them could approach teacher Mehmet culturally". Even high school did not pass without difficulties, and for this reason Ademi
was forced to change several high schools and wander from one city to another, starting
from Gjilan , Peja , Gjakova and Prishtina . Just like he finished high school in Kosovo , he completed his higher education
in Skopje
