THE STANDARDS FOR ENSURING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION IN KOSOVO ACCORDING TO EUROPEAN STANDARDS OF THE HIGH EDUCATION

Ensuring the existing capacities as a basic condition for a quality education, in education is connected in the beginning with a level of consciousness that captures in itself the need of educational planning building. These mechanisms despite that they are legal it has also to do with building up the capacities through twinning projects, funded by EU. The planning process has started by the SWOT program. The analyses showed weak points for ensuring the quality in education and they are separation of responsibilities between institutions. What is indispensable in Kosovo, it is building mechanisms to ensure quality assessment. The methods used in this paper are more research of materials and less comparative as far as the course and previous actions in Kosovo education. It is approved and entered into effect the law for education and capacity enhancement in Kosovo that aims supplying the people of all ages with professional knowledge. During the theses paper we are going to elaborate wider many theoretical and practical issues which deal with intentions, strategies and European standards which coordinate possibilities of accomplishment of objectives and ranking Kosovo education within education of European countries.


Introduction
The purpose of this paper is the minimal clarification of the education state in Kosovo, the circumstances presented after 1999 and especially with the harmonization with EU legislation, towards the creation of new experiences in education, these experiences are part of adaptation of theoretical education to the practical one, professional training and achieving suitable quality in relation with labor market. Currently theoretical teaching is increasingly dominating in our education. This is evidenced by the International Monitoring Organizations in Kosovo. In their annual reports they have evidenced the educational institutions that are responsible for raising the Http://www.granthaalayah.com ©International Journal of Research -GRANTHAALAYAH [60] level of education through a teaching and the continuous individual and group education. The other case is the curriculum education design, that means the students should be active in the creation of teaching process, diversity of students, the appreciation and adaption of pedagogical method, the promotion of common respect in teaching, student-teaching, appreciate procedures for handling student complains etc.
Kosovo Education Institutions, after 2010, adjusting to the new situations, function according to several new concepts, adequate with the education system in Europe. In Kosovo it is held a theoretical study in the schools, practical study in the cabinets, schools, companies and laboratories. Theoretical study currently is not sufficient, because it has to be adjusted with the practical study in order to achieve learning the occupation. According to a survey, representation of vocational schools in percentage varies from 0.5% in the trade and to 13.3% in the mixed directions. The representation of vocational schools according to the percentage continues in the medicine 13, 6%, economy 23.9%, music 0.9%, trade 0.5% and in art 1.1%.
There's enough endeavors finding ways to increase the efficiency in addressing the economical request in the job market. High Professional Education Institutions (IAP) in Kosovo are in the stage of orientation for the job market and there's an endeavor for having a vision for the national system of IAP, which is connected by the efficiency and efficacy in addressing of economical requests those demographic, social etc. Upon these basis was drafted, approval of the Law upon capacity enhancement and professional education. This is connected by general principles defined with general norms and special ones, which determine the notion of professional education, Institutions of professional education, theoretical and practical studies etc. What is more important according to this law are intentions that wants to achieve this law and the beneficiaries by this law. Upon this aspect the development of competences and employment of individuals in accordance with their future professions, general culture that is gained etc. and particularly beneficiaries are Companies and economy generally.
Along this law, the Kosovo Assembly approved another law that deals with education and capacity enhancement of adults by the number 02/L-24. This law determines the manner and adjustment of education system for adults within the field of activity of this law, which deals with education and capacity enhancement for adults in accordance with new standards, this form of capacity enhancement is organized in the accredited Institutions and licensed by MEST, in this aspect MEST has the competence of supervision and application of this law by licensed entities and accredited by International Organizations, which are present in Kosovo, whether in the capacity of monitoring and in the capacity of direct supporters. They drafted short term reports and various strategies about strategies for cooperation and development of the country, in this context and the growth of education in Kosovo.
It is worth to mention the strategy for cooperation and growth of the country for the period 2014-2108 drafted by USAID. After a successful addressing of challenges in the primary level from the classes 1-9, USAID will request the possibility to register and analyze shortages in high schools, classes 10-12. This will enable students to progress in the education system. Having the opportunity for high education, those students will gain advanced knowledge for the whole life. Now the high school in Kosovo doesn't provide knowledge and practical capacity enhancement and doesn't produce graduated students who are capable for employment. However, the abovementioned evaluation HICD identifies priority fields for reforms, e.g. within public administration, IT, Agriculture and thus it affords to USAID the possibility to assist, improve professionalism and pedagogies in the selected Faculties, as long as assures fulfillment by other program elements. Each support for the selected Faculties will be combined with the chosen possibilities by the attention for short-term and long-term trainings in the International level (basically in USA). Additional support for Prishtina University, as a concrete example beyond technical assistance that is part of partnership with American schools, by the education possibility abroad, will depend by achieving certain intentions. Currently, an action plan is being drafted in the process of participation by inclusion of MEST Officials, and University Deans, donors and members of the development community. The ESG purpose deals with teaching and learning in high education calculating also the environment of education and opportunities of scientific researches. They are more important for securing the quality in high education such as responsibility and improvement. Institutions should have policies for ensuring the quality that become public and consist part of strategies of management as per ensuring the policy of quality, drafting and approving programs that should include students, benefits by exchanging experiences of various countries in education, accomplishment of intentions and concepts of the European Council, realization of the constant progress to advance knowledge, the burden of the work for the students as per ECTS etc and opportunity of good structured employment.
Within ensuring standards are also learning and teaching which i.e. that students have an active role to create an education process, diversity of students, assessment and adjustment of pedagogical methods, promotion of the common respect in teaching, student-teacher, adaptable procedures to treat complaints of students etc. beginning from principles determined by International Organizations, which deal with education in general and high education in particular. R. of Kosovo drafted a strategy with the purpose of implementation of Regulations and procedures as per the quality of high education. This is seen also in the legal framework drafted by MEST taking into account the responsibility that has for planning education development. Kosovo Accredited Agency is a key institution for external evaluation of quality, strategic development and NQF maintenance (National qualification Framework) that deals with all types of qualifications. MEST through National Center for Acknowledgement and Academic Information (NARIC) is responsible for drafting policies and practices for acknowledgment of qualifications achieved abroad. In 2014, the European Training Foundation (FET) undertook the third round of the Torino Process, where Kosovo participated. The Torino Process is a participation review of progress in education policies and professional capacity enhancement (APP) which is conducted every second year from all partner countries of FET, by the support e FET. This report mentions in details organs and Institutions that deal with building up education in all levels. It also shows the level of economical progress of Kosovo, age of population, labor market and the opportunity of adaptation of requests and completion of the school.
A concrete example is also the strategy of enlargement and ensuring the quality in the University "Ukshin Hoti" in Prizren. This project is financed by the support of European Commission. This strategy envisages the possibility of building up the education capacities of the University, based on the management role, academic staff and administrative one. Guaranteeing the transparence, freedom of studies and artistic research, respecting of study inclusion and better manner of strengthening.
Compliance and comparison of studying programs with standards and European guidelines by external accreditation of Institutions and programs, UPz will achieve compliance by the requests of European High Education. This process will enlarge the opportunity for the graduates in order to continue their studies in various regional Universities, European and worldwide. In March 2012, Management of the University in Prizren has established the Office of Ensuring the Quality by the duty of relieving of implementation of principles registered above. In the national and European
