Abstract:
Recognizing the importance of attracting talent and leveraging technology transfer, the Kosovo Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) has placed special focus on improving and strengthening the education system across all age groups - an acknowledgement of the vital role of education in driving economic development. Ensuring all-inclusive quality education and promoting equal opportunities for lifelong learning, through interventions in policy, infrastructure, and legal framework is a solid guarantee to sustainability in the long run (SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, Infrastructure).
Since the beginning of the mandate in 2021, the Kosovo Government has dedicated substantial resources to the wide portfolio of MESTI. Out of five key areas in the Kosovo Education Strategy 2022-2026, three involve harmonization of VET with dynamic developments in technology and the labor market, improving the quality, integrity, and competitiveness of higher education, and digitalizing education. These objectives are in line with European research and innovation agendas, while simultaneously fulfilling the criteria for integrating the young Republic in relevant European and international bodies.
This presentation lays out the tangible steps taken by the Kosovo Government to enact the above objectives. Government actions cover a wide range of sectors and cross-sectors, including, but not limited to, reinvigorating dual education, revitalizing national science initiatives, supporting entrepreneurship and innovation, promoting digitalization, encouraging media literacy and combatting disinformation, and raising the bar on quality assurance in higher education, and many more.
