The State Standards for the quality of higher education in Albania relate to five areas of assessment: Organization, management, level of teaching resources, curricula and teaching; which are guided and supervised by the Quality Assurance Agency in Higher Education.
This agency is tasked with conducting preliminary quality assessment in universities, regarding units and 3-cycle study programs, within the framework of licensing, as well as external assessment within the framework of accreditation and study programs according to international standards.
This is what this agency does under the Ministry of Education, while the "seal" of quality is set by the Accreditation Board, which is a structure of the Quality Assurance Agency in Higher Education, but the appointment and dismissal of board members is the responsibility of the Prime Minister.
According to the law, this board must have members who are personalities of education and science and exercise professional activity in Albania; 8 of whom are Albanian citizens and 3 foreigners, but foreigners must also have a periodic physical presence with assistance at the Quality Assurance Agency in Higher Education and at Albanian universities.
In fact, the 11 members of the Accreditation Board of Higher Education Institutions, appointed by Prime Minister Edi Rama and selected by him, are personalities in their fields.
But they are permanent residents and work outside Albania, while they must be an active physical part of the supervisory and orientation activities of the Quality Assurance Agency in Higher Education and in universities, academies and colleges.
Members of the Accreditation Board for Higher Education Institutions

In their professions and careers, these are respected figures, but in the Accreditation Board of public and private universities in Albania, it seems as if they have the role of "notaries", signing the reports sent by the Higher Education Quality Agency.
In many cases, the reports contain fictitious and clientelistic assessments, especially for universities, academies and private colleges, which do not meet international educational standards according to the "University 4.0" quality model, remaining slightly above the "zero" level./ Pamphlet
mire ishte te tregoje dhe pagen qe marrin
Mendo një shifër, shumëzoje me 1000, dhe del sa rrogë marrin.
