He attended elementary school in Tuzi taught by teachers who spoke the Gheg dialect.

[2] For Nokë and his family, it was a great honor to be nominated as a Catholic priest and return to Malësia.

In 2000, many years after leaving the priesthood, he published a book which was both an autobiographical diary and a confessional to justify his decision.

It was because of these events, including hostile behavior, and injustices inside the clergy, that caused him to finally leave the priesthood but not his faith in God.

However he did not stop studying and in 1975 continued his education in Philosophy and Italian Literature at the University of Fribourg, graduating in 1981.
