Abstract
The small former Yugoslav republic of Kosovo has a short higher education system. This article discusses the current status and challenges facing higher education in Kosovo.
Highlights
Kosovo’s population of 1.8 million is one of the youngest in Europe, with 45 percent under 25 years of age and more than a quarter not yet 15
Scarce statistical data from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the Kosovo Agency of Statistics on student enrollment and graduation at UP for the period 2008–2013, show a rapid increase in student numbers. This increased participation appears to have had a devastating effect on the quality of education and on student performance, since the overall number of graduates has only decreased, both in real and relative terms
In the academic year 2008–2009, 5,161 students graduated, or about two thirds of around 7,000 students who had registered at UP in 2005
