Sejm approves zl.600 million for new Jagiellonian University campus

Over the next ten years, Jagiellonian University (UJ) in Krakow will receive financial backing to the tune of zl.600 million, the Sejm decided yesterday. The money will be spent on the development of a new campus for the university. Although the funds will be provided over a ten-year period, the amount is still large in comparison to the total funds set aside for higher education in the annual budget. Last year, the state invested zl.401 million in the country' s universities. The figure is expected to rise to around zl.436 million this year. (Zycie, p. 3) A.Z.
