Building of the First Albanian School in Korça, today the National Education Museum, is a First Category monument since 1973. This building was the house of patriot from Korça Diamant Terpo who donated it to the Albanian school, which opened on March the 7th 1887 by the patriot teacher, Pandeli Sotiri.

This museum reflects the history of Albanian writing, the multitude of alphabets up to the alphabet we have today, which was decided by Congress of Manastir (present day Bitola in North Macedonia) in 1908. Museum displays also the history of the Albanian book, from the first primer of Albanian language (Evetari, 1744), compiled by Naum Panajot Bredhi.

After restoration thanks to an investment by the Albanian government, this museum is attracting more visitors.
