Haxhiu, at RTV Dukaagjini, has said public university was founded with the votes of most Kosovo Parliament deputies
“I have defended the decision to establish these universities because a student from a Gjakova village has the chance of going to Gjakova, Peja or Prizren to study and does not have the luxury of whether my child or any MP to go to private college”, she said.
She has said that closing these universities is very disturbing, considering it a hasty step.
Kosovo is doing business with higher education. Business is done by those with material means. Those without means are discriminated against in education”.
The deputy chairman of the Commission for Education in the Kosovo Assembly, says around 8,000 students study at closed public universities and their closure would be a business opportunity for private colleges.
If we take 1,000 euros on average of the year students pay in private colleges, our citizens don't have the standard to send children to these” institutions.
AAK MP says Kosovo cannot afford to offer jobs to candidates who have only high school, so studies are necessary for employment.
She adds that if public universities and parents don't have a chance to send children to private colleges, those young people will leave the country.
