Economic Education in Poland

Abstract

The article presents the findings of empirical studies on various aspects of the activities of schools of economics. The research was conducted from May 1,1993 to April 30,1996. The first part of the article talks about a higher education institution as an organisational and economic entity. The second focuses on the concerns, organisation and methods of teaching. The third - personnel matters. The fourth discusses secondary schools. In the conclusion the author presents proposals of future changes, which include: carrying out a comprehensive or partial change of legal regulations concerning higher education, giving higher education institutions complete autonomy, including the shaping of their forms of organisation and methods of management, aiming at a universal tuition-based system of education. These changes should precede the creation of independent corporations of academic teachers, students and persons interested in the reforms acting as pressure groups in behalf of the reforms.
