Pasioni për mbledhjen e teksteve të këngëve te unë ka lindur shumë vite më parë.

Këto tekste janë mbledhur në formë dorëshkrimi dhe janë rreth 3.000 faqe të shkruara me tekste të këngëve të ndryshme shqipe. Tekstet, kryesisht, janë nxjerrë përmes dëgjimit të këngëve. Kjo mënyrë e shënimit të teksteve të këngëve mbase është e vështirë dhe për këtë arsye tekstet jo gjithherë mund të jenë të plota dhe të sakta.

  • The Manual for External Evaluation of Higher Education Institutions
    THE MANUAL FOR EXTERNAL EVALUATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS February 2021 FOREWORD The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) has assessed Kosovo Accreditation Agency, which is the main formal authority for quality assurance of Higher Education Institutions in Kosovo, as an exemplary institution, which has reached significant progress on fitting the Higher Education of the country into the European frameworks. Since then, the KAA is proud to have been adhered to the strict procedure of internal and external quality assurance, based on the Bologna action lines and the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG), which is adopted by the Ministers responsible for HE in the European Higher Education Area, in May 2015. To date, Kosovo and the KAA have marked significant progress in quality assurance by adopting the National Qualification Framework, Criteria and Standards for Accreditation of HEIs, recognition, and promotion of the learning outcomes and shifting of the paradigm of learning and teaching process towards student-centred instead of teacher/professor-centred. Moreover, the international partners consider the work of the KAA as an example of good practice in the field of Higher Education in Kosovo, and this is not a privilege but a commitment to further development and results. In this spirit, among many legal and administrative procedures, standards, and manuals, the KAA has developed this handbook to provide practical guidance to the external evaluation Team members assigned to evaluate HEIs on behalf of the Agency. The KAA believes that providing clear guides and sharing of experience benefits the actions for improvement of the HEIs’ external evaluation process, improvement of all the institutional stakeholders involved in the process, and advancement of the Quality Assurance system in adherence with the European standards.

This dialogue is the reason why parliamentary normality has been completely blocked in Kosovo. How can we be ready to dialogue with Serbia if we are not able to dialogue locally first, our government with opposition?” BIG —BESA LUZHA, FRIEDRICH EBERT STIFTUNG “Sometimes I’m afraid of being wrong and making a slip of the tongue when talking about the decision-makers in the municipalities.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. 897 students (M = 21.06, SD = 4.41), from six universities in Ko- sovo completed the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale and a sociodemographic survey through a web-based Google form.
