Higher Education Accreditation Agency received an Application for accreditation from Banja Luka College. Mrs Svjetlana Dusanic Gacic, Ph D solemnly submitted the application to the Agency on a press conference held on 29th February.
During the occasion, Head of the Agency Department for Quality Assurance and International Cooperation, Mrs Duska Radmanovic, emphasised that the Agency organises consultation meetings and practical workshops with institutions that are in the final phase of preparing the application for accreditation. "With reference to all contacts we have had so far, we expect applications from three more institutions in the next two months, which is a very positive fact since the Agency has been in existence for less than a year", said Mrs Radmanovic.
She reminded to the fact that the accreditation process is especially significant from the aspect of international recognition of RS Higher education in the European Higher education area. "The process is defined so that the RS Agency conducts the accreditation procedure thus gaining the preconditions to become the member of European Associations and European Quality Assurance Register and provide the recognition of diplomas produced by accredited institutions, as well as recognition of the institution itself", explained Mrs Radmanovic. Svjetlana Dusanic Gacic emphasised that the application for accreditation is the quality improvement segment in terms of Banja Luka College quality of work and invited other higher education institutions to approach the accreditation process. "We are grateful to the Agency for all their support provided during the preparation of documentation, since we had the possibility of resolving all issues at the moment of occurrence", said Mrs Dusanic Gacic.
