OSCE Kosovo Mission helps sustain Bosnian-language education

 

The Mission is currently implementing an assistance programme at the Faculty of Education in Prizren, part of Prishtinë/Pristina University, one of the two faculties that provide higher education in the Bosnian language.

 

The Prizren facility lacks teaching staff and can barely secure lectures for the three existing programmes: primary school teaching; Bosnian language and literature; and technology and computer science for high school teachers.

Esad Kurjeshepi, assistant professor in Prizren, says that professors are being brought in from southern Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to teach courses, but often have to cancel their visits due to bad weather and poor road conditions.

 

To establish more sustainable co-operation between Prizren and faculties of education in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the OSCE Mission purchased video conferencing equipment in March 2009. With the Mission's help, Prishtinë/Pristina University signed collaboration agreements with Sarajevo University on 25 May and with the Universities of Mostar and Tuzla on 4 June.
