Professional Higher Education – Croatia
Ph.D. Slavica Ćosović Bajić
The Croatian Council of Universities
and University Colleges of Applied
Sciences
President
Slavica Ćosović Bajić, born in Zagreb. BSEE (1974), MSEE (1977),
PhD (1986) at Faculty of electrical engineering. Since 1974 she has
been teaching in HE, from Assistant to Professor levels. She has
established several curricula at sixth and seventh level. Besides
curricula, she also took an active part in establishing undergraduate
and graduate study programmes (IT). Dean of Polytechnic of Zagreb.
Higher Education in Croatia – New Challenges
There are two ways of funding in Croatian higher education
(HE): public (support of Ministry of science, education and
sports) and private. There are 14 public and 28 private
organizations in HE. According to Croatian Qualification
Framework these are sixth (180 ECTS) and seventh (120
ECTS) entities.
There is a large discrepancy between needs and demands of
education profiles. In developed industrial EU countries HE
covers roughly 80 %, while in Croatia HE makes only 20 %.
We are advocating for a change of this ratio, but this will be a
long process. The Polytechnic of Zagreb has initiated the first
steps in this direction. The final step in the professional
education will be a professional doctorate or industrial
doctorate. Industrial doctorate is an alternative to the
traditional PhD for students who want a career in industry.

Professional Higher Education – Macedonia
Assoc. Dr. Sci. Laste Spasovski
Bureau for Development of Education
Head of the System Department
Laste Spasovski is a head of the System Department at the Bureau for Development
of Education. In 2000 he was a member of the team for preparation of the draftstrategy for development of the education in Republic of Macedonia.
The second half of the 20th century introduced and the beginning of the 21st century
emphasised a number of global challenges facing the state in front of a serious test.
The question of integration of the Republic of Macedonia in the general global
trends and developments is not only a question of its adaptation, but in essence of
its survival. Faces with these challenges, the country is seeking the best possible
solutions in the area of education, in the hope that is will manage to establish such a
system which, on one hand, will contribute to the development of the future citizen
of the world, whilst on the other representing an agent of the general development
of the country and assisting in the resolution of its internal political, economy and
cultural problems.
Within the scope of its efforts to create a strong and functional, not only national
but also European “architecture” of the system for vocational education and
training, the country faces a most serious challenge in having to decide how to
position it, what mechanisms it should have at its disposal, and which goals it
should strive to achieve in order to prepare youth and adults for all changes and
challenges they face and will face throughout their lives? Education must today,
unlike in the past, is required to achieve two basis goals: the first one is based on
global values and supports the main developments in the contemporary world –
collaboration, compatibility, competitiveness, integration, etc., and the second one
is based on the national culture and values and supports the resolution of national
problems and development.
Vocational education and training in Europe as a system has been in the last
decades under great pressure to modernise. In addition to economic and political
globalisation, technological innovations brought about swift changes in the types of
jobs and content of work in the national economies, with permanent changes in the
demand for qualifications and new skills; the open market enhanced the
opportunities for finding jobs on a national as well as on an international level,
whereas the complexity of the demand for new skills on the labour market
dramatically determine the structure, organisation and content of vocational
education and training.

The presentation aims to show how a large university,
such as University of Auckland - having more than
30,000 students on campus - with the help of
technology and good course organisation and
development – is able to centre learning on one
student and give him the maximum opportunity to
develop his specific and generic competences.
