The article, among other aspects discusses that BiH was the only signatory state of the Bologna Process which did not have a law on higher education. Several institutions will be established: the Agency for Education to improve education at the lower, elementary and secondary school levels; CIRCA to work on diploma recognition; and the Quality Assurance Agency to set up standards and criteria for the accreditation of higher education coordinating higher education in the country.
