... (1) UKLO - BITOLA TOWARDS INTEGRATED UNIVERSITY MODEL
Analysis of the process of realization of integrated university
concept of UKLO Bitola until the new Law on Higher Education was
enacted The concept of integrated university of UKLO Bitola was
realized slow and with no much success until enacting of the new
Law on Higher Education. The main reasons for this are as follows:
The Law on Higher Education from 2000 did not give enough formal
possibilities for introduction and development to the concept of an
integrated university The possible legal premises were not
completely used in the part of creating and implementing effective
modalities and mechanisms for content integration and more
effective usage of overall capacities and development potentials by
UKLO Bitola

legal subjects with complete legal subjectivity and the resistance
toward the concept of integrated university due to dominant
standings that this concept was not their interest Delay in

enacted few years earlier Analysis of the process of realization of
integrated university concept of UKLO Bitola until new Law on
Higher Education was enacted
Slide 11
... (1) UKLO - BITOLA TOWARDS INTEGRATED UNIVERSITY MODEL New
Law on Higher Education and the integrated university concept By
enacting of the Law on Higher Education all essential legal
presumtions for successful implementation of the concept of
integrated university are created mainly because of the following:
Only the University is a legal subject University bodies and
councils are organized and their competences enable effective
implementation of the concept of integrated university High level
of harmonization of our higher education system with EU higher
education systems and Bologna process objectives that beside other
meanings include promotion and implementation of the concept of
integrated university is established
Slide 12
... (1) UKLO - BITOLA TOWARDS INTEGRATED UNIVERSITY MODEL
Dilemmas about model of realization of the concept of integrated
university What is the way for realization of the integrated
university concept? Through complete centralization Through high
level of centralization Through low level of centralization
Slide 13
... (1) UKLO - BITOLA TOWARDS INTEGRATED UNIVERSITY MODEL UKLOs
answer to this crucial question is: For our University the best
model of integrated university is the model that would not mean
complete centralization nor domination of the principle of
decentralization. Our standings are that the optimum balance
between centralization and decentralization should be established
or in other words this would mean establishing a combined system
where the advantages of both centralization and decentralization
could be used. Dilemmas about model of realization of the concept
of integrated university
Slide 14
