Human society at all times faces changing systems, new mentalities, a world of continuous technological change, and so it needs to be adapted. Education is a very important part of any society as an essential tool to prepare young people for work in the modern economy and in its effort to ensure that the country remains competitive and innovative in the face of increasing global competition.Higher education in Albania is facing ongoing challenges which are proving to be an obstacle in raising quality. The origin of the most salient challenges can be summarized as follows: the quality with which students are admitted to the university, the lack of material and scientific basis that high schools provide for these students, as well as the lack of scientific basis for professors. Also, the lack of internship as part of the study programs at the University of Tirana continues to be a problem that is not being offered a solution. Compared to the practical work opportunities offered by developed countries, Albania is far behind. In this paper we will look at how developed countries such as Germany have provided solutions to this problem. In our opinion, if we aim to raise the level of Albanian higher education, the first priority is to work hard to find funds, funding methods and forms of cooperation between Albanian Universities and Western Universities to enable access to enough professors and students in contemporary knowledge and literature. Civil society in general should be maximally engaged, so that this issue has the attention of public opinion and all responsible bodies. However, problem solution and quality improvement remains largely, if not exclusively, in the hands of politicians and academic staff. In addition, the paper offers a number of recommendations addressed to the involved and interested parties in this issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
