Support of the Minister of Education for the IBCM

The International Business College Mitrovica is receiving significant encouragement from important political quarters in both Albanian and Serbian communities of Kosovo. This is manifesting itself in a number of meetings in support of our activities.

Most recently, on the 2nd April 2010, the Minister of Education, Science and Technology, Mr Enver Hoxhaj, invited the directors of high schools across the country to a briefing about the IBCM which, unusually, was held in the building of the Ministry itelf as an indication of governmental commitment to the project.

The Minister spoke at length about the transformation of tertiary education in Kosovo and his hope that the IBCM model of international quality professional higher education would lead the way in the evolution of post secondary education in Kosovo.  He made clear that the 2 year diploma and 3 year degree offered by the International Business College Mitrovica is crucial to the job prospects of young people in Kosovo.

Following a presentation of the IBCM by Paul Sudnik, and a lengthy question and answer session, the Minister closed the meeting by suggesting that representatives of the IBCM visit all high schools around Kosovo to ensure that pupils are well informed about the educational possibilities offered by the IBCM.  He was reassured that such meetings would take place at convenient times in all schools before the matura examinations in June.
