Paid studies and loyal professors is the World Bank's recommendation

World Bank analysts claim that Poland should introduce fees for studies, which should be merged with the system of scholarships and loans for students from low income backgrounds. This would be a much more fair solution which would increase accessibility to higher education. These were some of the suggestions of a report about tertiary education published by the Bank yesterday. "Some of the proposals have already been included in the presidential draft bill on higher education. With regard to paid studies, we are limited by the Constitution," said Education Minister Mirosław Sawicki. Authors of the report propose that the best universities would receive a majority of funds for universities from the budget, which would lead to the creation of world-class centers of excellence. Academics should also be limited to how many universities they simultaneously teach at. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A5) M.M.
