Prime Minister Albin Kurti and the Minister of MESTI, Arbërie Nagavci, participated last night in the festive dinner, organized by the Kosovo Accreditation Agency (KAA) on the occasion of registration in the European Register for Quality Assurance in Higher Education. (EQAR).
This celebration was attended by Ambassador Aivo Orav, Head of the European Union Office in Kosovo; Anu Prattipati, Chargé d’Affaires, US Embassy in Pristina; Clarissa Castek, Deputy Head of Mission, Austrian Embassy in Kosovo, Nedjeljko Spilek, Deputy Head of Mission, Croatian Embassy in Kosovo, MPs from the former Parliamentary Committee on Education, etc.
KAA’s inclusion in EQAR represents an important international recognition of its commitment and dedication to meeting European quality standards. This achievement significantly strengthens confidence in the higher education system in Kosovo, both domestically and internationally.
For students, this means that their degrees will enjoy guaranteed international recognition, facilitating academic and professional mobility in the European Union and beyond. Registration with EQAR proves that programs and institutions that undergo the accreditation process by the KAA meet the criteria set for quality and transparency.
For higher education institutions, this means expanded opportunities for international cooperation, participation in European programs, securing funding, increasing visibility and attracting students from other countries.
As a member of EQAR, AKA gains equal status with the relevant European agencies and is in a position to evaluate institutions outside the borders of Kosovo, positioning itself as a serious and integrity-based actor in the field of quality assurance in higher education at the international level.
The Prime Minister and Minister Nagavci thanked the President of the KHC, Professor Hasnije Ilazi, and the Director General of the KAA, Naim Gashi, for this organization and congratulated them on their registration in EQAR.
They also thanked the participants at this festive dinner for their contribution and partnership with the Accreditation Agency to achieve compliance with the European Quality Standards (ESH), which enabled registration with EQAR.
