The Academy of Sciences is feeling violated by the law on science, which was drafted and approved in its favor. Today, the head of the Academy, Skënder Gjinushi, appeared at a press conference where he expressed concern that the normative acts are distorting the new law on science, according to him.
"The new law on science is the product of a 5-6 year work and unfortunately during its final approval there were some deformations under pressure and some limitations that did not affect the essence, but created problems in its implementation. After this, sub-legal acts emerge that have the potential to correct what some wanted to ruin. We see that they are not moving in the right direction, there is acceleration, haste, there is a departure from the object of the law itself. For all these problems, the Academy of Sciences assesses that they should be mature and the product of inter-institutional cooperation, getting rid of parcelization, of the idea that the law of higher education is one thing and science is another. They should be the same thing. Getting rid of the idea that through the law, institutions compete with each other, but guarantee inter-institutional cooperation. The goal is not to have institutes go to the academy, or all institutes to universities. The solution is always heterogeneous, they can be close to the academy, independent, it is important that they work in a system. There is no should never be seen as monopolies of each other."
This statement by the head of the Academy of Sciences comes after the meeting that Prime Minister Edi Rama had with university rectors, where he said that the law on higher education must change and that universities need to undergo a reform that guarantees a new academic offer that resembles those of the European Union.
