1. Changes related to the structure of the VET system.  The Vocational Education system in Albania offers long-term vocational education programs (2, 3 and 4 years). In academic year, a new structure with three levels of education was implemented for the first time. This structure is consistent with the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED), the Albanian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) This structure is consistent with the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED), the Albanian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) Basic Vocational Education programs, introduced in level I (ISCED 3C, Introduction to employment), are focused in 22 main qualifications, which last for two years. This platform is equivalent to Level II of EQF and AQF. At the end of the program students are awarded basic vocational training certificate (semi-skilled worker / assistant); once level I is completed, students may transfer to Level II of the VE or the labor market. Basic Vocational Education programs, introduced in level I (ISCED 3C, Introduction to employment), are focused in 22 main qualifications, which last for two years. This platform is equivalent to Level II of EQF and AQF. At the end of the program students are awarded basic vocational training certificate (semi-skilled worker / assistant); once level I is completed, students may transfer to Level II of the VE or the labor market. b) Level II of Vocational Education (ISCED 3C) programs are oriented in key profiles (within a given professional direction), with 1 year duration. It is equivalent to Level III in EQF and AQF. It awards a certificate of professional training and allows the transition to Level III of the VE or to the labor market. b) Level II of Vocational Education (ISCED 3C) programs are oriented in key profiles (within a given professional direction), with 1 year duration. It is equivalent to Level III in EQF and AQF. It awards a certificate of professional training and allows the transition to Level III of the VE or to the labor market.

Level III: Technical Vocational Education / managerial level III (ISCED 3A) is oriented towards professional directions. There is one year duration (2+1+1) or 2 years (2+2) and it is equivalent to Level IV in EQF and AQF. At the end of this level, students are subject to the state matura exam and the professional practice exam.

2. Changes related to the role of social partners in the development of VET.  Social partnership is indispensable to a solid development of the VET- system. The draft - law highlights a variety of elements important to the institutionalization of social partnership in VET.  Inclusion of private companies in the development of VET has been limited, due to a lack of legal infrastructure for its institutionalization. Article 14 of the draft (which reflects changes to Article 18 of the existing law) defines the support of state associations and their involvement in the public system of VET. This article creates favorable ground for linking students of VET to internships in the private sector.  In the existing law, social partners do not enjoy the liberty in partaking during decision-making processes, concerning to the development of VET.  Article 24 of the draft law (which reflects changes to Article 26 of the existing law) regulates the competences of social partners in VET.  Furthermore, social partners can organize vocational training courses, according to specific needs of the areas they cover, in creating the professional capacities that also accommodate their staff needs.

3. Changes related to increased autonomy of schools and centers of VET.  A modernized VET system is multifunctional and flexible: it offers a variety of courses with different duration, for different categories of students, participants and clients.  Article 27 of the draft law (which reflects changes to Article 30 of the existing law) legitimizes the right of public institutions that offer / provide vocational education and training to carry out profitable market activities in fields that are related to the implementation of teaching programs and practices.

4. Changes related to institutions and structures of politic and implementation of development’s policies of VET. The VET reform is effective and based on a partnership model that engages in all its activities, different stakeholders (government, social partners, various communities, etc.).  The low proposes (Article 18) a greater participation of employers and employees to the National VET Council, bringing the total number of eight members, incorporating both public and private actors. The National VET Council is an advisory body and is supported by a technical secretariat. The Council of Ministers sets up the legal provisions as per the organization, operation and financing of the National VET Council and the technical secretariat. National VET Council recommends policies to line Ministries concerned on further improvement and development of the VET system.  Article 22 in the draft law defines the mission, tasks and the role of the National Agency of VET (NAVETA).  Article 6 of the draft indicates that the accreditation of institutions offering qualifications in VET in accordance with AQF levels will be carried out by NAVETA. The Ministry of Education and Science along with the Ministry of Labor set up standards, accreditation criteria and procedures related to the accreditation process.  Given the changes of the VET structure, referring to the three levels of education, the type and the format of the relevant certificates or diplomas have been revised. Article 10 and 11 of the draft law define key concepts regarding final assessment system related to certification.
