(9 years ago)A day before the dismissal, the Kosovo Agency of Accreditation Board has rejected dozens of demands of higher education institutions, mainly for research programmes. In total, the AKA State Quality Council has suspended 140 research programmes, including those that have had between 1,000 students and millions of incomes. [...]
This major blow to the irregular studies and revolt of the owners of these institutions could be among the reasons the Government of Kosovo has made a decision to dismiss the AKA Board, said Blerim Rexha in the interview for “Koha Ditore”.
He has not indicated the details of which direction the pressure has come upon him and which institutions of higher education are close to the political leaders who now run Government. But, he has repeated what he had written on an open letter, Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, that the decision and that few reasoning are offensive to him and to other board members, including two international experts.
Rexha has trained at Vienna Technical University and is a professor at the Technical Faculty at Pristina University. He used to be Deputy Minister of Energy and Mines.
Nearly three months has also run the Kosovar Privatisation Agency, while by October 2015 he was head of the State Council of Quality (KSHC) at the Kosovo Agency for Accreditation (AKA). It was fired in late September with the decision by Education Minister Shyqi and at the request of Prime Minister Haradinaj.
