20. Computing Education in HE Reform
The Law is written in a gentle style
Many definitions are not strict, saying mostly “it is possible” or “you may”
Interpretation: What is possible is NOT necessarily obligatory”
Old and obsolete classification of occupations
The National Council for Higher Education, which is responsible for the accreditation of study programs, has been established recently.

21. Computing Education in HE Reform
Computing occupations in the list of occupations
Role of integrated University
Forming of Scientific Professional Councils for Computing at University level (Nis example)
Status of ECTS implementation
