Professor of UP to increase the number of students in Medicine: For such intervention we were expelled from ECUAR and ECQA

Rexa on Facebook wrote she's wondering where Minister Likaj found a legal basis for this.

“Minister I'm surprised where you found the legal basis, when you're based on the pre-multipation of your decision on “... The organisation and functioning of Independent Administration and Agency...” That's exactly the word from “Minister, exactly for these arbitrary interventions of former Prime Minister Shyqi Bytyqi the Agency of Discension was excluded from ECAR and ENQA, because it was violated “independence in”. This decision of yours destroys all the hard work the Agency for Accreditation is now doing with international partners like U.AID, HERAS, GIZ, etc. For the return to ECAR and ENQA”, he wrote, saying such a decision is not good either for registration candidates at the Faculty of Medicine or for all high education institutions in the country.

“What a message this” is, has asked the UP's professor further, while giving a proposal to the minister.

Minister, what would you do with a proposal?

1. To advise the Faculty of Medicine to apply for early re-accreditation and in the blank application to want to increase only the number of students (as opposed to the old RVV). The Faculty of Medicine has over 100 professors and more sufficient spaces than required with Administrative Guide 15/2018, and increasing the number of students for 30% would not be a problem.

2. The agency, the request of the Faculty of Medicine, would have handled the priority and conveyed external assessments, the same experts, who have already assessed the medical faculty's programme.

3. The expert team only needs to be convinced that, yes, the Faculty of Medicine has enough human capacities and infrastructure for more students. And they, online, would have appreciated, as it is now practical and recommendation from the ENQA, that the actual situation is in favour of demand, and the decision would be positive.

4. Agency would approve of the decision, at online meetings

5. The faculty would accept additional students, confirming the Agency's new decision, according to the competition's scores.

“Adem Rame, don't become like Shyqa but withdraw the decision and immediately start co-operation with the Faculty of Medicine for early application at Accreditation Agency”, he wrote.
