To certify a student's grades during a school year
In the Republic of Albania, a Dëftesë (lit. "Cerificate") is an official document in the form of a certificate issued to a student by the school upon completion of their grades. The Ministry of Education is the accredited institution in giving out this document.
Etymology
The word dëftesë in the Albanian language is the noun form of the passive verb dëftoj, meaning to show, demonstrate or indicate. Its origin can possibly be traced to the Ottoman Turkish word defter, which was a type of tax register.
Usage
A dëftesë is an official document issued to a student by the school, which summarizes in record the classes they completed, the final grades, etc. The most common type of dëftesë issued today is known as Dëftesë Pjekurie (Maturation Certificate).
