| description | <p id="p1">Albania underwent significant changes in the three decades following the regime change in 1990. These changes affected not only the political, economic, and social fields but also the higher education (HE) system. Until 1990, HE in this country was politically tightly controlled. Reforms were implemented to transform it into a free and democratic system, with reforms in the areas of academic freedom and autonomy of universities, access of young people to HE, structure and curricula of study programs, governance of HE institutions, integration of teaching and research, cooperation with labor market actors, and financing of HE and their internationalization. Albania has almost 20 years of experience in implementing the Bologna Process, the most profound reform in HE. Currently, Albanian higher education is facing new challenges to become a vanguard of the country’s overall economic and social development on the way to Albania’s integration into the EU.</p> |
