Estonian HE sector Since 90ties very liberal HE policies. Autonomy and market demands are stressed. Result is 34 HEIs (50 HEIs in ´99) for 1,34 mil. people and constant fights to get funding and students.
Estonian HE sector(2) • Quality crisis in the beginning of millenium. • Ministry takes stronger stand in quality assurance and strategic planning of HE sector. • Strong legal acts to implement Bologna values and defend learners expectations. • HE strategy 2006-15 (2007); HE standard (2007); University Act (2008).
Estonian HE sector (3) • Good implementation of Bologna values, all ready by 2010. • Strong doubts about defending student rights - there´s just total lack of political will (and sometimes understanding). • Instead of social guarantees -tutition fees.
EÜL in 2008 • Soc.-economical survey • Tuning of legal acts • PRIMUS program (EU structural money) • Law of student social guarantees
