Contribution to National Development Plan/Cooperation agreement/Association Agreement/Action Plan

The aims and objectives of this project are directly linked to those of the National Programme for Development of Education 2005-2015, as well as with the Innovation

Strategy 2013-2020 and the Entrepreneurial Learning Strategy 2014-2020, since in all these national documents the development of labour market oriented higher education is highly prioritized. Strengthening the links between higher education institutions and the private sector is one of the first measures directly aimed at achieving better quality of the higher education sector. Also, process of development of a new comprehensive Education Strategy for the period 2016 – 2020 is underway. MoES will coordinate the whole process, with TA support provided through a Framework contract to be launched in December 2015/January 2016 within the OPHRD 2007-2013.

This Twinning project contributes to the efforts of the country towards implementation of the Government priority to promote sustainable economic growth and competition, higher employment rate, increasing living standards and quality of life. This priority is in line with the overall objective of OPHRD (2007-2013). The overall strategic objective of the Operational Programme is to foster the development of human resources, in particular by improving the quantity and quality of human capital, leading to more and better jobs, higher growth and development and increased national competitiveness at international level.
