Real Strategy as a Foundation Document to Guarantee Quality Management and Assurance in the “Haxhi Zeka†University

Currently, the institutions of the government of the Republic of Kosovo have taken concrete actions to decentralize the Higher Education by opening new universities in the regional centers and by setting the conditions for a competitive intercollegiate environment where the true principles and a condition for a contemporary institution will, above all, be the academic quality management assurance. For this vision, the relevant institutions have issued a series of strategic and legal documents which will provide for an acceptable legal and academic base for all higher education providers and with the proper view of the situation and current needs, they will be drafting and implementing strategic documents. Initially, these documents will guarantee the mechanisms for providing necessary information on all weaknesses, risks, opportunities and priorities of the segments for the university academic development, analyzing these up to the adoption of managerial actions which will ultimately result in a strategic document that guarantees quality and quality only. Although established two years earlier, ‘Haxhi Zeka’ University has made progress in organizing academic activities but has not yet taken any serious and substantive steps to mobilize all segments within the university and on the basis of shared responsibilities to draft and implement the document with normative and academic force to assure the management of the university’s quality. It is considered that the academic quality is related to the well composition of the variables of competencies in teaching and students learning, intercollegiate cooperation, scientific research and adopting programs according to the market requirements and conditions both inside and outside the country. These objectives may be achieved only by specialized managers who are prepared for changes, respectively with a modern manager profile.
