4 Developing content of higher education
Designed by HEIs Study programmes Cabinet Regulations: State standard on academic education (2014) State standard on 1st level professional HE (2001) State standard on 2nd level professional HE (2014) State higher education standards OR: requirements for professional qualification Used for professional HE programmes Designed by expert groups, approved by a tripartite council (state, employers and trade unions) Occupational standards

5 State higher education standards
Stipulated on the level of Cabinet of Ministers Three separate standards: First level professional higher education (short-cycle education) Academic education Second level professional higher education Describe - objectives of programmes, reference to the relevant EQF level, main (compulsory) parts of programmes (including provisions for final exams), volume of programmes and their parts (duration and credits), assessment principles and procedures, further education rights

6 Occupational standards or requirements for professional qualification
Separate standard for each professional title, e.g. Computer Engineer Developed by the higher education institutions in cooperation with employers (Sectoral Councils of Experts) Necessary knowledge, skills, competences and attitudes (both general and professional) to perform in a respective profession

7 Example of developing a study programme
The HEI develops the idea for a new programme The HEI in cooperation with employers develops a new occupational standard (if needed) The HEI (in cooperation with employers) develops the content of study programme and aligns it with the state standard and occupational standard The study programme is approved in the institutional Study programme council which includes employers The study programme is annually revised in the institutional Study programme council

8 Revision of the curricula
HEI are free to revise up to 20% curricula (excluding the electives and final exam) in the period between accreditation periods of a study programme without external approval Revisions to study programmes are always approved internally by the HEI Signifficant changes are approved externally, but the quality assurance agency

9 Professional qualifications in the IT sector in Latvia
6th/7th EQF level – 5th level of professional qualifications (professional bachelor/master studies) Programming Engineer System Analyst (Database specialist, Engineer) Information Technology Project Manager Robotics Engineering Telecommunications Engineer Electronics Engineer 5th EQF level – 4th level of professional qualifications (first level professional higher education) Programmer System Administrator (Computer Networks Administrator, Computer Systems Administrator, Data Bases Administrator) Computer Systems Test Engineer Telecommunications Specialist Electronics Specialist

10 What skills do the IT graduates lack?

12 State standard (1) At least 60 ECTS; length in full time studies from 1 to 2 years (with the pre-condition that the full time for BA and MA studies is at least 5 years) The content has to comply with the European Qualifications Framework level 7 At least 30% of the volume in full time study mode is organised in the form of contact hours Mandatory content – 1) study courses about new developments in the respective area (>7,5 ECTS); 2) scientific work, design and management study courses (> 4,5 ECTS), 3) internship > 39 ECTS; 4) state exam (> 30 ECTS)

13 State standard (2) In addition study courses that ensure the development of professional competencies in entrepreneurship: Innovation Foundation and organisation of enterprises Management methods Basics of project development and management Record keeping and finance management Labour law, including the facilitation of a social dialogue in the society
