The declining demographic trend in Poland causes the recruitment to go down across the board, affecting both public and non-public (private) sectors.

In the case of full-time students, however, the numbers go up for public HEIs and down for private HEIs. Explanation: the government pays for full-time students in public HEIs.

The demographic trend for the next ten years shows decline both in the enrollment age (19) group and the student age group (19-25) in Poland and generally in Europe.

According to the Socrates Institute analysis, in the most pessimistic scenario, by 2020 practically all students in Poland may find places to study in the existing public HEIs.

Conclusions

The historic 1990 Higher Education Act was a break through but ever since private higher education institutions and student have endured a never-ending struggle for equal treatment.

In November 2001 to win access to scholarships program, students had to stage a protest in front of the Ministry of National Education.

Today, again, students of private higher education institutions are considering a protest, to demand their constitutional right to the tuition free full-time studies.

Children of the lesser god?

Enough to breaking the laws of studentsof non-public higher education institutions!
