Štěpánová, Marie ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Rovná, Lenka (referee)
The bachelor thesis is a case study based on an analysis of the problems of higher education in Great Britain. In the first part, it deals with the genesis of the decision of British government to increase tuition fees of public universities. This took place in 2010 in the United Kingdom (apart from free Scottish schools). The second part analyzes arguments for and against the tuition fee increase. The period studied is from May to December 2010, meaning, between the general election which concluded in the creation of a surprising coalition of Liberal Democrats and Conservatives, and the tuition fees vote in the parliament. The differing views on university funding and on educational budget cuts between the two governmental parties caused disagreements in the coalition as well as within the parties. Liberal Democrats had to solve the dilemma whether to support the decision of promoting fee increase and following the recommendations of Browne's Review of Higher Education Funding and Student Finance, or to fulfill their pre-election promises, which were basically founded on the rejection of tuition fees. The proposal had some positive reactions from universities (Russell Group, UUK), raising arguments like the graduates' benefits from a degree, increase in competitiveness of British higher education...

Unsustainable business practices coupled with an illusion of the masses plagues the higher education model in the United States today. It used to hold that college was the key to a successful job for fresh graduates. . . . We are in the midst of a speculative bubble composed of inflated expectations about the university system. This paper aims to analyze that there is indeed a speculative bubble of the US Higher Education system. The increased demand for college, skyrocketing tuition and room & board fees, as well as easier access to loans for funding have contributed to the formation of this bubble.

The costs of Czech public budgets resulting from the study of Slovak nationals at public universities in the Czech Republic
Ondruška, Pavel ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Brabec, Petr (referee)
The aim of this diploma work is to find out the effectiveness of providing free-of-charge tertiary education to citizens of the Slovak Republic at Czech public universities. In the theoretical part, I will focus on researching motives of Slovak citizens to study in the Czech Republic from the point of view of theory regarding the expansion of human capital and the return on investment into education, as well as utilizing a questionnaire to research the preference in selecting schools outside Slovakia. Furthermore, I focus on the system of financing public universities in the Czech Republic. In the Czech Republic, students are provided with free-of-charge university education, if they complete the graduation examination from the Czech language or if they have another, officially verified, examination from the Czech language. As a result of the mutual agreement between both countries, citizens of the Slovak Republic have an exception negotiated in law 111/1998 Coll. about universities. The practical part focuses on calculating the costs to the public budget for the study of Slovak citizens as well as calculating the benefits, if they decide to work in the Czech Republic. The analysis arises from data of the MŠMT (Ministry of Education, Youth and Physical Education) and the ČSÚ (Czech Statistics Bureau) regarding the number of foreigners at universities as well as the system of financing universities from the statistics of the largest Czech universities, which I have obtained. From the collected data, I find out the representation of Slovak citizens in the individual years. I also attempt to calculate and generalize the approximate number of students, who completed their studies. I calculate the costs based on the individual years, where every student has a fixed sum in the given year, which the public budget incurs for him. I use these cohorts to calculate the benefits, which are divided based on the years and by means of the wage discount method, I find out the approximate amount of tax paid for the time period in which the Slovak citizens work in the Czech Republic.
