1. CREATING A VISION OF HIGHER EDUCATION FOR A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION
Minister of Education and Science,
Republic of Albania
Mr. Genc POLLO
Rruga: “Durrësit”, nr.23, AL-TIRANË,

2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND PLANS
New Law on HE
Strategy of HE and Research
Action Plan
Follow-up with possible amendments to Law.

3. WHAT WE HAD TO FACE System was not sufficiently responsive
System was too homogeneous, little room for different missions, roles, variation and flexibility
Research used to be out of universities;
Scarce professional orientation, lack of sub-degrees
Insufficient autonomy
Limited analytical capacities in the Ministry of Education
Creating a Vision of HE for a country in transition

4. WHAT WE HAVE STARTED Focusing on Bologna Process
market orientation study programs
knowledge based society
involving wide base of stakeholders
managing the process and reforms (Law, Strategy, Action Plan, Ministry capacities, intensive workgroups)
Creating a Vision of HE for a country in transition

5. Establishing the National Qualification Framework
Curricula development
recognition, flexibility of the system, mobility
reforming R&D; University integration
improving teaching & learning Quality
Improving University governance, internal management
Creating a Vision of HE for a country in transition
