The yellow painted school in Krume’s town centre will probably close in five years.

Two years ago it had 100 pupils but now there are just 60.

“Every year there’s a decrease, and now even primary age children are leaving,” says Elis Dibra, the area's head of education.

Thousands of young men have deserted this town in Northern Albania in recent years for the UK, and now even school age children are joining them. Many of them are recruited to work in Britain’s drug trade increasingly captured by Albanian gangs.

“The guys from Krume are the bosses of the cannabis industry,” Andi,who gets by connecting people with people traffickers told The Telegraph. “It’s really easy to get this work.”
