Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)Problems with recognition of diplomas abroad, damage to the reputation of higher education, the remnant of the Kosovo Agency for Accreditation (AKA) without international supervision, are just some of the consequences Kosovo will face following the European Association for Security of Quality at High Education (ENQA) to exclude this [...]
Recognisors of education issues consider the Haradinaj government to be the main blame why the agency remained outside two key European organisations, in which it was a member. According to them, the return to this European institution is reachable only if the AKA guarantees professionalism and independence.
On September 19, The ENQA made a decision to exclude the AKA because it failed to score results and political interference in it. Last year, The ENQA lowered the status of the Agency from <x0 nationals with full rights” to “states under survey” due to political interference in the Agency.
Even the European Writer for High Education Security (EQAR) ruled out the Agency on the grounds that it lost the ability to act independently. This was after, in September 2017, Education Minister Shyqi Bytyqi, at the request of Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, dismissed the State Council of Quality (the Agency's debt) and the task officer of the institution.
