Those who do not win the entrance competition may study for 7,000 lek per month Next year, 20-year-olds should not lose all hope of continuing higher studies. When only one place is left, they may pay 7,000 lek per month. From the new academic year, the number of students will increase, but alongside the public university the private one will also operate. This is the solution the Ministry of Education has found to increase the number of students. According to specialists from this ministry, there will be no private faculties without state faculties. Students in the branches will have greater opportunities, because only there will there be a considerable number of vacant places. Those who pay will study by correspondence or part-time. Under the new project, the university will have two categories of students: those who enter through competition and those who pay. The cost of study will be 7,000 lek per month. This reform will also affect the higher schools. The Ministry of Education is preparing the reorganization of rights for higher school. On page 5 University of Tirana
