V.I. Lenin Higher Party School
- V.I. Lenin Higher Party School
Vladimir Ilich Lenin Higher Party School was a defunct higher education institution that existed in Albania during the period of Communist rule. [ [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=eKswXpDWBGgC&pg=PA149&lpg=PA149&dq=Lenin+Higher+Party+School+Albania&source=web&ots=dUV-5O-9tk&sig=ipVgqWKUU-XgC9SConTaNEj6PSo&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result "Women, State, and Party in Eastern Europe"] ] The school was accessible to all cadres that had finished high school education. Many of the students were already graduates in other fields in other institutions of higher education in Albania.
The studies for a student lasted two years of attending classes, without having to face exams or other academic testing, nor a final thesis or exam whatsoever. All the classes were about Marxist-Leninist indoctrination, Communist Party history and similar.
The last Director (Rector, Chancellor) of the School was Nexhmije Hoxha, the widow of Enver Hoxha, herself without a formal higher education. Previous directors include Fiqrete Shehu.

Students benefited of a two-year scholarship (all the duration of the studies) of monthly amount of 800 Albanian lek. This was nearly twice the salary of a factory worker and nearly thrice the salary of a peasant worker of that time. Furthermore the students benefited of free housing for all the duration of the studies, for themselves and, if needed, for their family.
The access was very restricted and the number one criterion for admission was loyalty to the Party. Essentially each and everybody who entered the school had to have the right connections.
