From dual system – Colleges (BSc. level and Universities (M.Sc. level) without mobility, transferability to
Four-level structure – increased mobility due to modular structure and credit system
– Accredited Higher Vocational Training (AHVT)
– College programs (3-4 years, undergraduate)
– University programs (4-6 years, graduate)
– Doctoral - Ph.D programs - and specialised postgraduate degrees (3-2 years)

Transition in institutional structure
Integration
– in the late 80’s – about 90 HE institutions
half of them enrolled fewer than 500 students,
third of them enrolled fewer than 300 students
– by now, only 20 universities, and 24 colleges
HE institutions controlled by churches
Private colleges

Transition – from elite to mass
HE has been elitist– in 1991, 12% of age group of 18-22, in 1999/2000 –
28%
Aimed level: 50 % - but not duplication in absolute number – dramatically decreasing number of this generation
– State founded and self-financed courses, student loan system
– Student/lecturer ratio was 5:1, now 14:1

Transition in several aspects
– From academic isolation to educational market of economy
– Norm-based budgeting, more efficient income generation
– HE institutions should become the intellectual centres of regional development
