It argues that in addition to national demographic and economic factors, patterns of HEI foundings also reflect world-level models about how nations should structure their higher education systems. Findings…

Kwiek, Marek – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2017

De-privatization means a decreasing role for the private component in the changing…

This question can be assessed with reference to two major considerations: the size of PHE and the degree of private-public difference. The growth of PHE in Europe has been delayed and limited compared to that in most of…

Levy, Daniel – European Education, 2014
With the fall of communism in 1989, Eastern and Central Europe would quickly become part of an already strong global tide of privatization in higher education.

Peer reviewedRoberts, K. – Journal of Education and Work, 2001
In the post-Communist Eastern Europe, the scope and nature of vocational education are determined by labor demand, academic/general education is considered suitable for all ability levels, and responsibility for and financing of education has been privatized.

Bollag, Burton – Chronicle of Higher Education, 1999
Rapid growth of non-state colleges and universities in Eastern Europe has been fueled by strong demand for education and a limited number of student places at state universities, which, until recently, had a monopoly on higher education in the region. While some institutions are shoddy profit-making ventures, others are models of innovation. (MSE)
