Abstract: After the fall of the communist regime in Albania it has opened a great debate on the so-called "re-writing of history", a complex process of deconstruction of the scientific methods of the regime and of the myths that have impregnated the Albanian historiography, that actually impede young Albanians to identify with their own historical and cultural roots, so important in facing the challenges of globalization identity. The purpose of this article is to identify the challenges of the press and of the Albanian Government, in 1912, to achieve the education of the masses. The main objective is to understand whether the Albanian press has stressed the importance of national identity formation and education of the masses, and also the importance of the legislative organization of national education in the early twentieth century. To achieve this purpose has been used desk research method. After the analysis of original documents and articles of the Albanian national archive, we can argue that 1. the Albanian state education story began after the publication in newspapers of three documents: Luigj Gurakuqis’ announcement of September 6, the circular of September 12 and “Article 29†civil administration law of 22 November 1913; 2. The Albanian press actually has propagandize the love for the country and for education, helping the government in achieving its main objective of state education.
