BSEE (1974), MSEE (1977), PhD (1986) at Faculty of electrical engineering. Since 1974 she has been teaching in HE, from Assistant to Professor levels. She has established several curricula at sixth and seventh level. Besides curricula, she also took an active part in establishing undergraduate and graduate study programmes (IT). Dean of Polytechnic of Zagreb. Higher Education in Croatia – New Challenges There are two ways of funding in Croatian higher education (HE): public (support of Ministry of science, education and sports) and private. There are 14 public and 28 private organizations in HE. According to Croatian Qualification Framework these are sixth (180 ECTS) and seventh (120 ECTS) entities. There is a large discrepancy between needs and demands of education profiles. In developed industrial EU countries HE covers roughly 80 %, while in Croatia HE makes only 20 %. We are advocating for a change of this ratio, but this will be a long process. The Polytechnic of Zagreb has initiated the first steps in this direction. The final step in the professional education will be a professional doctorate or industrial doctorate. Industrial doctorate is an alternative to the traditional PhD for students who want a career in industry. 10 Harmonizing Professional Higher Education in South-eastern Europe, International Conference, Maribor, Slovenia, November 29 – 30, 2012 Professional Higher Education – Macedonia Assoc. Dr. Sci. Laste Spasovski Bureau for Development of Education Head of the System Department Laste Spasovski is a head of the System Department at the Bureau for Development of Education. In 2000 he was a member of the team for preparation of the draftstrategy for development of the education in Republic of Macedonia. The second half of the 20th century introduced and the beginning of the 21st century emphasised a number of global challenges facing the state in front of a serious test. The question of integration of the Republic of Macedonia in the general global trends and developments is not only a question of its adaptation, but in essence of its survival. Faces with these challenges, the country is seeking the best possible solutions in the area of education, in the hope that is will manage to establish such a system which, on one hand, will contribute to the development of the future citizen of the world, whilst on the other representing an agent of the general development of the country and assisting in the resolution of its internal political, economy and cultural problems. Within the scope of its efforts to create a strong and functional, not only national but also European “architecture” of the system for vocational education and training, the country faces a most serious challenge in having to decide how to position it, what mechanisms it should have at its disposal, and which goals it should strive to achieve in order to prepare youth and adults for all changes and challenges they face and will face throughout their lives? Education must today, unlike in the past, is required to achieve two basis goals: the first one is based on global values and supports the main developments in the contemporary world – collaboration, compatibility, competitiveness, integration, etc., and the second one is based on the national culture and values and supports the resolution of national problems and development. Vocational education and training in Europe as a system has been in the last decades under great pressure to modernise. In addition to economic and political globalisation, technological innovations brought about swift changes in the types of jobs and content of work in the national economies, with permanent changes in the demand for qualifications and new skills; the open market enhanced the opportunities for finding jobs on a national as well as on an international level, whereas the complexity of the demand for new skills on the labour market dramatically determine the structure, organisation and content of vocational education and training. 11 Harmonizing Professional Higher Education in South-eastern Europe, International Conference, Maribor, Slovenia, November 29 – 30, 2012 Professional Higher Education – Serbia Prof. dr.
