Flitet se nje projekt i UV-se me vlere rreth 550 000 Euro i bankes boterore i eshte vjedhur Universitetit te Vlores  gjate vitit 2008 dhe i eshte dhe Universitetit te Shkodres.   Flitet se propozimit te grantit te Vlores i ishte ndryshuar vetem titulli ne faqen e pare, kurse brenda granti edhe sot mban siglen dhe emrin e Universitetit te Vlores.  Zn.ministrja e Arsimit, zonja Nora Malaj ne takimin me pedagoget ne Vlore ne 8 Janar 2010 tha shprehimisht “Zoti Rektor, asnje s’do t’u vjedhe me projektet dhe idete….”.

Mos valle e kishte fjalen per kete rast?  A ka njeri informacion ne kete pike?

Qeveria tentoi ti fale Greqise  ujrat e Shqiperise dhe deshtoi ne Gjykaten kushtetuese. A ka te drejte Berisha te deklaroje se do te tentoje serish ta beje kete? Perse qeveria e kerkon me kaq ngulm shitjen e ujrave tona?

TIRANA, Albania — The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Monday (January 25th) suspended the voting rights of the Albanian delegation because its members were selected without parliamentarian procedure. Tirana insists the official regulations were respected in selecting members. They include Kastriot Islami, a lawmaker from the opposition Socialist Party, which has been boycotting Albanian parliamentary sessions since September.

A jane gjyqtaret e Vlores se korruptuar?

Ja disa fakte:

Nje fare Fuat Muka i cila ka gjykuar disa ceshtje te UV-se dhe ne te gjitha rastet ka mbajtur anen e te korruptuarve. Fuati nga Dukati ka deklaruar se UV nuk fiton kurre ndonje gjyq sa te jete ai gjyqtar.

Fatkeqesisht per Fuatin litari po mblidhet dhe gjyqtaret e korruptuar do te perfundojne prapa hekurave.

Bonsai eshte nje element i kopshtarise kineze, me ane te te cilit kultivohen peme ne miniature.

Fidaneve te pemeve u shkurtohen me gershere 1/3 e rrenjeve dhe 2/3 e gjetheve dhe degeve. Me pas fidanet e krasitur mbillen ne vazo te vogla lulesh dhe mbahen gjalle me pleherim e ujitje. Ideja e bonsait eshte ta mbash pemen ne permasa te vogla e te mos e lejosh ate kurre te rritet, duke perftuar keshtu nje peme me te gjitha funksionet e saj, por ne vend qe te jete e larte 3 metra, te kete te njejten forme ne nje madhesi prej 10 centimetrash. Kjo realizohet duke shkurtuar ne maksimum cdo syth te ri qe pema cel, ne menyre te perditshme.

Filozofia e administrates qeveritare shqiptare per arsimin publik universitar ngjason ne menyre te pameshirshme me kopshtarine bonsai.

Ja me se fundi, del nje universitet ne Shqiperi, i cili realizon me te vertete nje permiresim rrenjesor dhe te dukshem te standarteve te mesimdhenies, duke e shfaqur vleren e vet dhe prestigjin e arsimit shqiptar ne podiume nderkombetare. Me se fundi del nje universitet ne zemer te Shqiperise, i cili matet me universitete te botes dhe barazohet me ta. Del nje universitet ne Vlore, i cili delegon anetare te stafit pedagogjik ne simposiume e konferenca nderkombetare, qe botohet ne revista shkencore boterore me faktor te larte impakti dhe i ben shkencetaret e botes te kujtohen qe ka arsim te larte ne Shqiperi. Del nje universitet publik qe bulezon sythe e projekton kampuse per te shtrire deget e veta, qe permireson programe e seleksionon stafin pedagogjik duke e filtruar ate ne menyre strikte sipas kritereve te ligjit, per te optimizuar pozitat e veta per akreditim nderkombetar, arritje kjo qe do te qendronte ne krye te listes se mburrjeve te cdo qeverie, te cfaredo lloji qofshin – me perjashtim te qeverise shqiptare.

Ne vend qe te hapet vend e te inkurajohen iniciativat, te krijohen hapesira e te ndihmohen reformat, te tregohet si model per universitete te tjera e te dekorohen flamurtaret, Universitetit te Vlores i priten deget e i pergjysmohen rrenjet, i bllokohen rrogat e i anullohen promovimet, i kthehen mbrapsht programet e i refuzohen projektet. Ne vend qe te konsiderohet nje gur i cmuar ne kuroren e arritjeve kombetare, trajtohet si shqetesim fakti se ky universitet po ben nje hije te madhe. Behet cmos qe ky universitet te mos rritet. Behet cmos qe Universiteti i Vlores te shnderrohet ne nje universitet bonsai.

Mbetem ne kureshtje te shoh a ka me shprese per Shqiperine.

University of Vlora is steadily raising the bar of competence based learning, by fiercely combatting educational corruption and setting international standards for faculty performance and professional development.

Differently from all other higher education public institutions in Albania, the University of Vlora is striving to detach itself from the traditional old-system teaching mentality and methodology, managing through many struggles to be the first public university that is uninfluenced by the pressure of corruption and nepotism, and headed towards internationalization based on western standards.

For the past two years, University of Vlora has undertaken a systematic and wide-ranging reassessment of institutional effectiveness and reengineering of its educational and administrational practices. The recent implementation and development of SIUV, the University of Vlora Information System, has allowed the institution to design and develop Intranet applications to provide a framework for knowledge management within the institution. The university’s key achievements with the introduction of SIUV include the following:

1. improvement of access to university information;
2. improvement of institutional decision-making;
3. improvement of communication among administration and faculty for collaboration and cross-fertilization of ideas.

Bill Weldon, the author of the book “Considerations for Higher Education Systems in Post-Communist Societies: A Current Look at Czech Higher Education” (Weldon 2003), talking about the current state of the post-communist Czech higher education, wrote:

‘Higher education needs a champion. Within it there exists an apparent ambiguity of leadership. Leadership by committee, like a Rectors Conference, or leadership by influence, like some individual educators, is muddled in a confusion based on a lack of clearly defined leadership principles.’

The same concept that Weldon mentions applies to the post-communist Albania. Without a clearly defined set of leadership principles that distances itself radically from corruptive practices, it is impossible to make progress, because for every single step forward there will be an equal number of steps backward.

Post-communist countries in particular need this champion type of determined and well-defined leadership that Weldon mentions in order to really be able to move ahead and make progress. Public opinion generally places the blame for slow progress on the character and ability of the university community of faculty and students, but what has been happening at the University of Vlora in the last two years can completely prove that opinion wrong.

With the change in leadership at the January 2008 elections for the new university president, a series of radical reforms began to revolutionize the entire education system at the University of Vlora. The election of Prof. Dr. Tanush Shaska as Rector, an academic and well-known scholar with a vast career and training in western universities, brought to the university a new era of authenticity in scholarship and education.

The reforms were well planned and designed to be effective in a short amount of time, aiming to improve the system in three aspects:

• by raising educational standards
• by improving efficiency in administration
• by encouraging research and scholarship

The reforms up to date have been much more successful than what the students, the media the community had predicted or expected, by showing thus that the professors at the University of Vlora, including what is considered the older generation, are capable of change, able to keep up with the fast pace and high energy-consuming and time-demanding activities, if given the right kind of leadership.
