In post-communist Albania’s schools, alongside regular textbooks of history for teaching the subject, school atlases of history are also employed as a prescribed or adjunct textbook. In the stories and facts related through texts and maps, the Ottoman past is curiously warped and marginalized. As a result, the average Albanian is left incapable of explaining why Albania is a predominantly Muslim polity, but with a considerable degree of tolerant poly-confessionalism. Furthermore, school history education in Albania propagates the unreflective anti-Ottoman feeling encapsulated by the stereotypes of ‘Turkish yoke’ or ‘the five centuries of Turkish occupation.’ This simplistic anti-Ottomanism of Albanian culture and public discourseis strangely at variance with the Muslim and polyconfessional character of Albania.

In the article the deliberations concerning university, its place in the present world, the status of academics and students, and cooperation between university and business were shown. Moreover, the authors pictured how amendments to the Higher Education Law in 2005 influenced the creation of new fields of study. Some new majors were presented, especially the practical ones created at the University of Silesia in Katowice. Particular attention was paid to the promotion and crisis communication, the field of study that was developed and still is managed in a substantive and organisational way by the academics in the Irena Bajerowa Institute of the Polish Language.
