TIRANA, February 15/ATA/ 4 laboratories and 1 multifunctional center for the Student Council and student clubs have been added to the Faculty of Foreign Languages of the University of Tirana.
Minister of Education Evis Kushi visited the Faculty of Foreign Languages today, where she emphasized that, “These laboratories will not only be available to lecturers for scientific and academic research work, but also to the students”.
“The Ministry of Education set a budget dedicated to internationalization. Internationalization is now our basic policy in higher education, encouraging and supporting universities for cooperation with prestigious universities. The cooperation can be rendered into double, joint study programs, but also teacher exchanges, student exchanges, scientific research programs and in general in all aspects of academic life, university life”, said Kushi.
Kushi explained that, “Last year, we set a new budget of 400 million lekë for Albanian universities. One voice was to support the design and implementation of programs, the curricula or the exchange of university teachers. And the second voice was about the infrastructure because many joint programs with European universities need new laboratories, infrastructure, and equipment, to enable them, to properly implement these programs”.
Minister Kushi said that, “I’m glad that the University of Tirana responded immediately to our call to benefit from this budget and today I look forward to visiting these facilities that I’m proud of. The inclusion of student councils or student clubs in these projects is truly to be congratulated”.
Kushi reiterated again the invitation for the students to prepare with research projects because very soon the National Agency of Scientific Research and Innovation will open the call for research and development projects, but also infrastructure projects./k.s/p.s./
