Lectures in faculties and higher schools (withsome exceptions) were delivered in the Serbo-Croatian language. The teaching staffs in Alba-nian were in shortage. At some departments lec-tures were delivered in the Albanian language insome subjects still from the beginning of theiractivity (in 1960, only at the Department of Al-banian Studies). Two years later, some other sub-

jects were also instructed in Albanian: Pedagogyand Sociology (as general subjects to manystudying groups). Teaching in Albanian contin-

ued to become intensified, particularly from1966. The efforts for creation of teaching staffsin Albanian were increasingly intensified.

In 1964, 31 students graduated from the firstgeneration in the Faculty of Philosophy, of whom16 were Albanians and 15 others.

Me hapjen e Fakultetit Filozofik, Juridik-Eko-nomik, Teknik dhe t Mjeksis u krijuankushtet themelore ligjore pr themelimin e

Universitetit t Prishtins. N kt drejtimndikuan edhe rrethanat objektive dhe atopolitike n vend, sidomos pas Plenumi tBrioneve (1966), kur intensifikohen prpjekjete popullit shqiptar t Kosovs pr afirmimkombtar dhe pr realizimin e t drejtave poli-tike, arsimore etj. Ato kulmuan me demonstratate studentve, q u shndrruan n demonstratagjithpopullore (1968), ku u shtruan nj vargkrkesash, si ishin krkesa pr vetvendosje,pr Kushtetut, pr themelimin e nj universiteti

n Prishtin etj.

Duke pasur parasysh faktin se n Kosovmungonin shum kuadrot profesionale mearsim t lart dhe universitar, t cilt iprgatitnin ato institucione t larta pedagogjikedhe shkencore, ndihma e fakulteteve t para dhee shkollave t larta qe e madhe dhe shum erndsishme. Kto institucione t larta profe-sionale-arsimore e shkencore, q u themeluandhe vepruan n periudhn e par q nga vitit

1958, 1959, 1960 dhe n vitet e tjera deri m1970, kur filloi jetn dhe veprimtarin Uni-versiteti i Prishtins, dhan nj kontributgjithnj e m t madh n prgatitjen e eksper-tve shqiptar me arsim t lart, pr t ciltkishte aq shum nevoj shoqria kosovare.

Krahas aftsimit t specialistve t profileve tndryshm, shkollat e para t larta dhe ato katrfakultetet e para n Kosov, ndikuan drejtprdrejt(deri m 1970), por edhe gjat dekadave qpasuan, n zhvillimin e arsimit, kulturs,

shkencs (sidomos t gjuhsis, t albanolo-gjis), artit, ekonomis, tekniks, mjeksis dhet fushave t tjera.

By opening the Faculty of Philosophy, Facultyof Law and Economics, Faculty of Engineeringand Medical Faculty, basic legal conditions were

created for the foundation of the University ofPrishtina. In this direction objective and politicalcircumstances were created in the country, inparticular following the Party Plenum of Brioni(1966), when the endeavours of the Albanianpeople of Kosova were intensified for their natio-nal affirmation and the accomplishment of theirpolitical, education and other rights. They culmi-nated with students demonstrations which weretransformed into all-national demonstrations(1968), where a series of demands were put for-ward, such as the demand for self-determination,for a Constitution, for the establishment of a Uni-versity in Prishtina, etc.

Bearing in mind the fact that many professionalstaffs with higher and university education werelacking in Kosova, who were preparing thosehigher pedagogical and scientific institutions, theassistance of the first faculties and higher schoolswas great and very important. These higherprofessional-education and scientific institutions,which were established and acted in the firstperiod still in 1958, 1959, 1960 and in thefollowing years to 1970, when the University ofPrishtina began its life and activity, made theirall the more increasing contribution to thepreparation of Albanian experts with highereducation, who were so much necessary to theKosovar society.

Parallel to capacity building of different profilesspecialists, the first higher schools and those firstfour faculties in Kosova, had a direct impact (to1970), and also during the following decades,on the development of education, culture, sci-ence (especially of linguistics, Albanian studies),art, economy, engineering, medicine and otherfields of activity.

2. The Foundation of the Universityof Prishtina and Its Activity

1970-1981

The University of Prishtina was originally"founded with the intention for the Albanianstudents to study in their mother tongue -Albanian. This was an accomplishment ofAlbanians demands. The University of Prishtinawas founded by the SAP Kosova Assembly,which approved the Law on the Foundation ofthe University of Prishtinaon18 November1969.

Article 1 of this Law reads textually: TheUniversity of Prishtina is established. TheUniversity has the capacity of a legal person.

Article 2 of this Law states: The University ofPrishtina includes the faculties with their seats inPrishtina: the Faculty of Philosophy, Faculty ofLaw and Economics, Faculty of Engineering andthe Medical Faculty. (Official Gazette of the

SAPK"No. 33/69, Prishtina, November 1969).

The Foundation Assembly of the University ofPrishtina was held on 13 February 1970, and two

days later, on 15 February, the Solemn Meetingof the Foundation Assembly was held for itsinauguration. The date 15 February was proclai-med The Day of the University of Prishtina. Prof.Dr. Dervish Rozhaja was elected the first Rector.

In 1970s, some other institutions of higher edu-cation were established, among which there wereseveral faculties. From the Faculty of Philoso-phy, in 1971, was separated the Faculty of Math-ematical-Natural Sciences, becoming an inde-pendent institution. At that time theFaculty of

LawandFaculty of Economics became indepen-dent, which were initially joint institutions. In1973 the Faculty of Agriculture in Prishtinawasestablished, then the Faculty of Mining and Met-allurgy in Mitrovica(1974), the Faculty of Arts

Education) in Ferizaj (1976), the Faculty ofPhysical Education in Prishtina(1979).

On the basis of a Self-management Agreementin 1980 the higher schools joined the Universityof Prishtina.

By increasing the number of faculties and higherschools, the number of students was also increa-sed, particularly the number of Albanian students.In the academic year 1969/70, when theUniversity of Prishtina was founded, 7,712students (5,303 full-time, 2,409 part-time) were

studying there, of whom 3,669 were Albanians,and 4,043 Serbs. The number of students wassmall, particularly that of the Albanians. This isproved by the fact that the number of Albanianstudents in that academic year was for 374smaller than the number of those who studied inthe Serbo-Croatian language. However, duringthe first ten years of its development, theUniversity of Prishtina was transformed into astrong university centre, with a large number ofstudents, particularly of those studying in the

Albanian Language. In the academic year 1979/80 there were 34,922 students (25,009 full-time,9,913 part-time). Instructions in Albanian wereattended by 24,771 students, and 10,151 in theSerbian language. The number of Albanianfemale students who studied in different facultiesand higher schools increased too (803).

The number of teachers and associates increasedsignificantly, especially for lecturing in the Al-banian language. While in the academic year1969-1970, about 200 teachers and 200 associ-

ates were working in the University of Prishtina,in the academic year 1979-1980 about 600 teach-ers and 400 associates were working in this Uni-versity. There were more than 190 doctors ofsciences (126 Albanians) and 173 masters (134Albanians) working full-time.

In a relatively short time, the teaching staffs forlecturing in the Albanian language in all curriculasubjects were also created. By the Constitution

of 1974, the education system in Kosova gainedits autonomy. In 1979 an agreement on thecooperation within the University of Prishtinawas signed, in which its activity was performedalso by scientific institutes, in subjects such associology, economics etc., which dealt withresearch work in concrete and more up-to-dateissues in Kosova. Parallel to local staffs, theteachers of the University of Tirana made theircontribution in this aspect, particularly in theperiod 1978-1981. In the teaching subjects in

Serbo-Croatian, professors from the universitiesof Belgrade, Skopje, Nish and some other univer-sity centre since its establishment. In the first tenyears, due to the lack of Albanian staff, a certainnumber of teachers from the Serbo-Croatian tea-ching process were teaching the Albanianstudents in Serbo-Croatian. Teaching and studiesin their non-mother tongue presented seriousdifficulties to Albanian students, whichundoubtedly had an impact on their studiesefficiency.

By the Law on Higher education (OfficialGazette of the SAPK No.43/74), highereducation in Kosova for the first time is regulatedentirely. In some departments, as in those ofAlbanologic Studies, Pedagogy, History, in theFaculty of Law, Faculty of Mathematic-NaturalSciences (FMNS), etc., post-graduate studieswere established.

On purpose of intensification of teaching, thefirst steps were made for compilation ofuniversity text-books, which were lacking,

particularly for studies in the Albanian language.The initial efforts were done for reformation ofstudies curricula and creation of better conditionsfor studying and scientific activity. Almost in alldirections, in faculty departments and sections,

libraries and reading rooms were opened, andliterature was provided for both students andteachers, although it was not sufficient.

In 1974 a modern students restaurant was built,with other following premises: buffet, readingrooms, clubs, a students health protection facil-ity. Students were provided material aid by schol-arships and stipends.

Parallel to teaching activity, scientific work wasalso intensifiedin the University. At some fac-ulties (FMNS, Philosophy, Law, Economics,Medicine, etc.) scientific institutes, clinics andscientific services were established. The num-

ber of doctors of science and masters increased,particularly of Albanian ones; monographs andother scientific works of University staffs werepublished, scientific bulletins were published inmany faculties and different other forms of sci-entific activity were organised.

The University of Prishtina, since its foundation,developed its cooperation with other universitiesof the former Yugoslavia (with that of Belgrade,Shkup (Skopje), Zagreb, etc.), as well as withother university centres, particularly with the

University of Tirana, with which a fruitfulcooperation began in the academic year 1970-1971 and lasted to 1981. In 1971 possibilitiesfor cooperation with the University FriedrichSchiller of Jena (Germany), with the Universityof Mahackala (Dagestan, USSR), then with theHigher Institute of Jasa (Romania), contact werealso established with other universities. TheUniversity of Prishtina became a member of thePermanent Conference of European rectors andof the World Universities Association, where ittook part in an active way. To its international

affirmation contributed significantly theInternational Seminar of Albanian Language,Literature and Culture organised for the studentscoming from different countries of Europe andoutside it, who are involved in Albanian

teaching and scientific work in the University ofPrishtina, students sports activities andentertainment were enriched in it. The Leagueof Organisations of Physical Culture of theUniversity was established (LOKF), in which 20sports associations with 11 clubs were formed,with around 4,000 members, among which thefollowing were distinguished: the Skiing Club(1969); Basketball Club University (females),formed in 1972; the Club Judo University(1969), them the clubs of chess, volleyball,

handball, ping-pong, shooting, etc., whichmanaged to have great results. These clubs in1979 were included into the Sports AssociationUniversity. The Students Cultural and ArtisticAssociation Ramiz Sadiku played a great roleon the cultural and artistic life of the students inthis period. It was established in 1962, anddeveloped continuous and very successfulactivity in the sections: of Folk Music, Folklore,Drama and Albanian and Serbo-Croatianlanguages, of the Entertainment Orchestra,Chorus, Literary Group. Students published their

reviews Bota e re (New World) and Dituria(Knowledge).

In this period, precisely within the period 1970-1980, over 9,500 students in 46 profilesgraduated and over 100 dissertations weredefended in the University of Prishtina. Themajority of them were Albanians.

Despite the good results that were reached in thefield of education and scientific research work,a particular problem of the University of Prishtinawas the low efficiency of studies, determined bythe lack of material possibilities, necessaryequipments and laboratories for more qualita-tive teaching, then traditional teaching, the lackof text-books and other required teaching litera-ture, particularly in the Albanian language.

The period between 1981 and 1991 of the Uni-versity of Prishtina history recorded the largestnumber of Albanian students and staffs, but itsis also distinguished for the intensification ofpolitical and police repression against Albanianprofessors and students, as well as against thestudies in Albanian in this University in general.

Various and numerous changes were made. Inthe academic year 1982-1983, there was adisintegration of teaching based on faculties. InNovember 1987, an Agreem en t on theUnification in the University of Prishtina, bywhat the University of Prishtina was transformedinto a strong and very complex university centre:with 10 faculties, 7 higher schools and theStudents Centre. In 1988 the Faculty ofEngineering was divided into three separatefaculties: the Faculty of Mechanic Engineering,

Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Facultyof Civil Engineering and Architecture. Similarly,in 1988, the Philological Facultywas separated

from the Faculty of Philosophy.While in the first ten years (1970-1980) thenumber of higher education institutions grewrapidly in the University of Prishtina, in thesecond decade (1981-1991) the network of theseinstitutions was completed with other higherschools and faculties, including also four newfaculties, which became independent.

Parallel to this, initially the number of studentsgrew up. In the academic year 1980-1981, thenumber of students in the University of Prishtina

reached as high as 31,073, who were attendinglectures in Albanian, 12,248 attending lecturesin Serbo-Croatian, including also 223 foreigncitizens (mainly Greeks). The number of Alba-nian girls studying in different departments in-

dicated also a remarkable increase (6,802). Thenumber of students in the University of Prishtina,in the following years, due to a wrong education

policy and due to great fear from Albanian intel-ligence, recorded a gradual decrease. Thus, inthe academic year 1988-1989, the University ofPrishtina had 31,598 students (20,529 full-timeand 11,069 part-time). Lectures in Albanian wereattended by 24,039 students, and those in Serbianby 7,559 students, of whom 755 were foreignstudents (mainly Greeks). Only a year later(1989-1990), the number of Albanian studentsdecreased to 6,434, or for 26.76%

Out of 24,039 students, as many as they were

earlier, their number went down to 17,605, whilethe number of Serbian students remained the same.

The University of Prishtina then had a total of25,091 students.

In the academic year 1980-1981, this Universityemployed 916 teaching staffs and 434 associates,while in 1988-1989 it had 1,316 teachers and726 associates, most of them teaching in theAlbanian language. Efforts were made topromote the quality of studies, particularly

through the improvement of necessaryconditions. The number of university text-booksin Albanian grew significantly. From 1970 to1990, the university text-books in the largest partof teaching subjects were published by theInstitute of Text-Books and Teaching Meansfinanced by the Education Self-ManagementSociety of Interest (SMSI) and Scientific WorkSMSI of Kosova. The Institute of Text-Booksand Teaching Means in Prishtina published (orrepublished) 60 university text-books in 1983.

The University of Prishtina up to 1991 reachedconsiderable results in the field of education,which also was its primary duty.Within a periodof twenty years, 46,280 students graduated, inboth teaching languages. Only in 1988, about3,700 students graduated, out of whom 1,200

and quality of funding education and scientificand research work, as well as their interrelationwith economic and social needs in Kosova.

Parallel to the growth of this institution, violenceagainst it was intensified too, particularly afterthe students movement in the spring of 1981,with whom the whole population showedsolidarity, and it was followed with harsh policeintervention, and the application of the state ofemergency in Kosova. In these bloody conflictsof the demonstrators against the police, many

Albanian students, pupils and teachers werekilled, wounded and imprisoned. In this way, awild campaign (differentiation, punishments anddismisses from work) continued against theAlbanian education staffs and students, againststudying in the Albanian language in theUniversity of Prishtina, which was qualified byYugoslav and party bodies as a nest of Albaniannationalism and separatism. In this respect, theAlbanian students were denied the right to studyor they were expelled from schools 568

students. In the period between academic years1981-1982 and 1990-1991, the number ofAlbanian students was reduced for 11,068 or35.93%, namely from 30,804 students theirnumber fell down to 19,736 due to ideological-

political measures, and the economic circum-stances became increasingly difficult. However,in the period 1981-1989, 18 Albanian teaching

staffs were expelled from the University; someof them were also put to prison. The resistanceagainst such violence was intensified too.

In 1990, compulsory measures were implemen-ted to the University of Prishtina by theParliament of the Republic of Serbia, and in June1991 compulsory-violent measures wereimposed to the University and its faculties.

On 27 June of that year, the Assembly of theRepublic of Serbia approved this decision: For

the protection of self-management rights andsocial property, provisional measures are imple-mented against the University of Prishtina andthe faculties in its structure: the Philological

Faculty, Faculty of Philosophy, Faculty of Math-ematical-Natural Sciences, Faculty of Law, Fac-ulty of Economics, Faculty of Electrical Engi-neering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering,

Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture,Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Arts, Facultyof Physical Culture, and Faculty of Mining and

Metallurgy in Mitrovica. (Sluzbeni glasnik(Official Gazette) of the SRS, No. 38, Belgrade,27/06/1991).In the beginning of the academicyear 1991-1992, the Albanian professors of theUniversity of Prishtina did not sign the agree-ment with the Serbian Community of HigherSchools and the Community of Faculties. On 1stOctober 1991, the Provincial Fund for HigherEducation in Kosova stopped funding educationin the Albanian language in all the faculties andhigher schools. Albanian students and teacherswere expelled from the University of Prishtina.

The dismissal of Albanian teachers from the Uni-versity of Prishtina in 1991 will remain in thehistory of the higher and university education ofKosova as an uncivilized, inhuman and anti-Al-banian act of the Serbian authorities.

Special attention was paid to teaching activity.Important changes were made in the curriculaand studies regime. Some existing subjects infaculties and different departments were removedand new ones were introduced. Studentssemesters registration facilities were created andother studying facilities were implemented. Inthese conditions, teaching was organizedgenerally through traditional methods and forms(lectures, practice and consultations hours),although efforts were made for the use of

laboratories in the teaching process. The studentsof the Faculty of MNS and the Medical Facultyhad their practical classes in the institutions ofthe University of Tirana, etc. In order to facilitatestudents studies, many teachers compiled theirtext-books and about 150 such university text-books were published in the Albanian language.In some faculties, post-graduate studiescontinued as well, master theses and dissertationswere defended. In these conditions, efforts weremade for curricular reforms and new study

profiles, particularly in some faculties (Econo-mics, 1992-1993). The Faculty of TeachersTraining was also established (1997).

Even in these conditions, the University of Prish-tina made its efforts to cultivate relationships withother universities, such as with the universities ofAlbania. The National Conference of theUniversity of Prishtina was established(1994).Relationships were created with the UniversityFreidrich Schiller from Jena, the EngineeringUniversity of Dresden, the Free University of Ber-

Parallel to studies, through their Organization,the Students Independent Union, with supportof their teachers, made efforts to revive theirstudents general activity in the University,including scientific tribunes, art exhibitions,music concerts etc.

On 18 April 1994, the Students IndependentUnion began again to issue the students reviewBota e Re (New World). This organizationperformed valuable work for affirmation of thisUniversity on the international arena. Thisreached its peak with their protests in 1997 and

the liberation war (1998-1999).

From the school year 1991-1992 to the school year1998-1999, although in extremely disfavoredconditions, 8,785 students graduated in theUniversity of Prishtina. Nevertheless, despite theenthusiasm and work with numerous sacrifices ofstudents and teachers, etc. the results in their studies(their quality and efficiency) in these circumstances,were not and could not be at a high level, particu-larly in some educational-scientific fields.

Teaching, scientific and artistic activities in theUniversity of Prishtina in such extraordinaryconditions continued to 21 March 1999, whenthe education process was interrupted tempo-rarily. During that war (1998-1999), 322 studentsand 8 teachers of the University of Prishtina werekilled.
