The poor quality of higher education, outdated curricula and their incompatibility with the labor market are some of the reasons for the "brain drain" from Albania.
In this conclusion, the report of the World Bank dedicated to higher education, as one of the sectors that affects the economic growth of the country, has come out. Leaders of the World Bank in Albania recommend that only the return of higher education to priority could change the situation in the country: "Despite the fact that in Albania there is an increase in the number of students receiving professional education, there is still an imbalance from one branch to another. another branch of study. Students should be better prepared to adapt to the demands of the labor market. By investing in higher education, in curricula, in infrastructure and science, we will bring the universities closer to the labor market".
Other Western Balkan countries also have the same problems as Albania in higher education. The report shows that their quality does not reach the average of 9 out of 100, which is the maximum rating. Due to the weak level, Albanian universities and those of the region are not included in the ranking of the 500 best universities in Europe and Central Asia.
The exception of the Balkan countries are the universities of Serbia. According to the World Bank, Serbia leads the region with 22.6 points, an average close to that of the European Union countries.
Meanwhile, leaders of the Ministry of Education have listed the reforms that, according to them, are being undertaken to change higher education in the country. Earlier, business and education experts have expressed the need to adapt University curricula to the labor market, since the skills of graduates are not at the levels required by employers.
Meanwhile, even in 2025 the government will not fulfill one of its promises to increase the education budget to 5% of the gross domestic product. Education will not receive more than 2.36% of GDP, where 18.4 billion ALL is the budget for universities and only 0.06% for scientific research.
