The Policy
• Laws (Framework Law on HE and Laws on entity/cantonal level) stipulate academic freedoms and criteria for appointment of academic staff
• Sub-laws (Standards and Normative for performing HE – input standards of HE authorities) stipulate the quantity of staff, including academic staff workload
• HEA documents related to QA (Criteria for Accreditation and output standards) are about the quality of staff and HRD policies on the level of HE institutions
• Working conditions, professional development, career management (evaluation, training, motivation) are responsibility of the HE institutions and depend on their resources
• There is no common HRD strategy or common approach
www.hea.gov.ba
Conclusions 1
• HE in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been doubled in last 10 years.
• HEIs have „produced” its own staff and that was the only response on HE expansion.
• There is still a lack of academic staff. Academic staff is overladed by teaching!
• Quality of staff should be improved.• There is no HRD strategy.• There is a lack of regulation (licensing was partly
conducted, accreditation is still on pending).
www.hea.gov.ba
Conclusions 2
• Working conditions: generally speaking academic staff is well paid and administrative staff at HEIs is average paid, so jobs in public HE are attractive
• Professional development of staff is highly depended on resources and management of HEI –very various situation and there is no a system
• Career management is weak – there are no regular trainings, systems of evaluation of administrative staff, systems of internationalization (academic mobility), systems of research funding, etc.

Conclusions – Recomendations: The Strategy
• Investments should follow:– to strength scientific research, – new schemes for PhD, – pedagogical trainings, – trainings for administrative staff and staff in HE
authorities• Administrative staff at HE authorities should be
included in the reform• The main obstacle: political consensus and the
model – should it be on cantonal/entity or on national level
