NEAR/PRN/2021/EA-OP/0067 (Works Cont.)

SECTOR:

Education

PROJECT VALUE:

Service Contract: Contract amount: EUR 586,305.00 Works Contract – LOT 2: (According to the Addendum No: 04) Contract price excluding provisional sum and VAT/other Taxes: EUR 3,742,889.81€ Provisional Sums/Contingencies: EUR 1,521,179.76 Total Contract price including provisional sum: EUR 5,264,069.57

OVERALL OBJECTIVE:

To improve the quality of Education infrastructure in Kosovo at primary and lower secondary level, with special emphasis on inclusion of children belonging to minority communities and overcrowded classrooms.

PROJECT PURPOSES:

Construction of the school started on 1st March 2022, with an originally planned duration of 15 months and a budget of EUR 4,250,935.19. However, unforeseen events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, have significantly disrupted the project’s implementation, leading to delays and increased costs. As a result, the total value of the works contract has risen to EUR 5,264,069.57 to accommodate higher construction expenses. The new school is now expected to be completed by March 2025 instead of the initially planned 2023. School Design and Educational Structure The newly designed school in Prizren falls under the "basic education" category and consists of three educational levels: pre-primary, primary, and lower secondary. It will accommodate 900 students. In the Kosovo education system, these levels are structured as follows: • Level 0: Pre-primary education – Designed for children aged 5 to 6 years, lasting one year. • Level 1: Primary education – The first stage of compulsory education, lasting five years for students aged 6 to 12. • Level 2: Lower secondary education – The second stage of compulsory education, lasting four years for students aged 12 to 15. Since Kosovo’s education system requires 10 years of compulsory education, a school based on the basic education model must be equipped to provide education from kindergarten through lower secondary school. The goal is to ensure that students complete all stages of compulsory education within the same school environment. School Design Specifications According to the Design Guidelines for School Facilities – Norms and Standards (Volume 1), the school in Prizren is planned with: • 3 educational cycles • 30 classrooms in total • 30 students per classroom • A total capacity of 900 students This design aims to provide a modern, well-equipped learning environment that meets the required educational standards. Service Contract: - Providing supervision and contract management services as the Supervisor, for the Works Contracts to be executed under PRAG conditions and rules, in terms of quality, time and cost. Works Contract: - Proper implementation of the school building in Prizren as defined in the contractual documents.

📍 The first SAA Subcommittee meeting since the EU began gradually lifting measures is taking place today.

We hope this marks a good start for more to come. With the current momentum on EU enlargement, it's time to get back on track and work together to advance across all sectors.

📢 Stay tuned for the conclusions from today’s meeting!

#EUinKosovo #SAA #EUIntegration #Partnership #Enlargement
Meaningful discussion today with representatives of civil society and business organisations ahead of the upcoming Subcommittee Meeting on Trade, Industry, Customs, and Taxation. Civil society’s input is key to bringing the voices of the people to the table and making the EU’s impact more relevant for their lives.

We are glad to see everyone eager to resume the dialogue as part of the gradual lifting of measures — and to continue engaging on Kosovo’s progress on its EU integration path.

#EUinKosovo #CivilSociety #EUIntegration
🎓✨ Welcoming fresh perspectives from across the Atlantic!

We had the pleasure of hosting a vibrant group of students from the University of North Carolina 🇺🇸 at the EU Office in Kosovo. 🇪🇺

EU Ambassador Aivo Orav and our team had an inspiring discussion with them on key topics:
🔹 The EU’s role in Kosovo
🔹 The enlargement journey
🔹 The Pristina–Belgrade Dialogue
…and more!

These conversations help us reflect on our mission and, we hope, spark curiosity and motivation in the next generation to engage deeply with the EU and its work in Kosovo.

To all young changemakers out there — keep asking questions, stay curious, and stay involved! 💬🌍

#EUinKosovo #YouthEngagement #FutureLeaders
🎓 After more than 5 years of dedicated work, the EU-funded project ICT for Kosovo’s Growth has come to a successful close! 🇪🇺

💻📚 Through this project, over 3,100 young people in Kosovo have been trained and certified in advanced ICT modules including Java Programming, Cyber Security, Web Development, Python, Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence.

🤝 Today, together with the Ministry of Economy, WEglobal, EPM, Prishtina REA, STIKK, ICK, and other partners, we celebrated the achievements of the tenth and final group of graduates. The event also brought together stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and the ICT sector to discuss how Kosovo can continue to develop its digital skills ecosystem and connect training with employment opportunities.

👏 Congratulations to all the graduates who are ready to shape Kosovo’s digital future! And congratulations for the excellent gender balance reached lately! This shows that women are also powerful and skilled in ICT!
