Financing, resources diversification, private funds Daniel Münich (CERGE-EI, MŠMT)
OVER-RELIANCE ON PUBLIC FUNDING • Private funding from: • Students (domestic, EU, non-EU) • Firms (R&D, innovations, students) • Other • Consequences • Constraint of faster growth of the system • Inefficient behavior of students and schools (incentives) …introduce fees and attract private sector
FRAMEWORKS FOR PRIVATE FEES/TUITION (1) • Student loan system, need-based scholarships • Differential fees by level of studies • BA, MA, foreign students: pros & cons, Irish experience? • Encourage growth of private tertiary sector • make students eligible for public loans/scholarships • real estate endowment (?)
FRAMEWORKS FOR PRIVATE FEES/TUITION (2) • Dual fee system • Charge more market based programs, non-EU students. • Higher tuition subsidies (public) to priority fields • Parallel fees structures – not recommended • Attract support from industries (students and R&D)
REFORM OF FINANCING • Current funding mechanism • streamlined and transparent • according to normative (current) costs) (?) • according to labor market needs (?) • more responsive to soc-econ needs (?) • consolidate graduate-base component • who will decide? • is there a space left for customer’s preferences and competitive forces? • Greater governance power to management • priorities setting (feedback?) • allocation of funds
