Project Summary

In its 2015 progress report on BiH the EC has made several recommendations regarding how BiH might improve certain key areas. One of these is education. In its report the EC states that BiH should increase its efforts in coordinating and harmonising the legal framework governing the education sectors at all levels. The QF Action Plan for the period 2016-20 sets out many areas that require significant actions including the HE system. The aim of QFP project is to support the reform of the HE system in BiH, and to improve the quality of education in accordance with EU standards and teaching in line with national priorities through the building of a QF Knowledge Platform (QFP). A training model for forecasting and identifying labour market needs in the area of qualifications will be developed. These will be designed to ensure that they can be easily mapped to the EQF. Primary amongst the tools will be a detailed manual which will guide course designers. A vital strategy in the attainment of the aims and goals of the project will be knowledge exchange and sharing. This will be achieved through a series of study visits & trainings. This element of the project will also involve the development of technology enhanced methodologies with again key experts advising and training BiH teaching staff. It will also involve the procurement of the appropriate tools and systems to ensure that enhanced teaching facilities are designed and provided in BiH universities.A crucial element to the success of the project is the involvement of a cross section of the appropriate ministries and other national bodies.It is the aim of the project to train approximately 500 individuals from BiH universities, government ministries and other key stakeholders such as employers and state agencies involved in the delivery of a modern HE system for BiH. It is also a stated aim that each participating university will design at least three new programmes based on the concepts of learning outcomes.
