Vanková, Milada ; Veselý, Arnošt (advisor) ; Kohoutek, Jan (referee)
The topic of my diploma thesis is a policy of cost- sharing in the Czech higer education system. Discussion of the cost- sharing policy implementation in the Czech higer education system has taken place for almost twenty years. Yet no form of tutition fees at higer education institutions was introduced. The cost- sharing seems to be a controversial element in the effort to reform the system of Czech higher education financing. The Czech higher education system needs a reform. There are many problems: worsening financial situation of higher education institution, a low efficiency of the system, inequitable access to higher education etc. Policy making is a complex process, which comprise of many factors. In this process, stakeholders plays a very important role. Stakeholders are those, who are interested in the policy or those who are influenced by it. In my thesis I want to clarify a dispute about the policy of cost- sharing in the Czech higher education. To reach this goal, I try to describe the attitudes of higher education policy stakeholders to the cost- sharing in the period of 1992- 2012.

Analysis of financing public universities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in the context of economic crisis
Stankovič, František ; Titze, Miroslav (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
Higher education is irreplaceable in today's society. It represents the highest level of the education system and contributes to the development of a society based on knowledge. Effective system of financing higher education is crucial. Higher education in the Czech Republic and Slovakia is underfunded and although it is characterized as multi-source, public funding remains as the primary source. Role of qualitative indicators is increasing. Unlike the performance indicators, it motivates universities to improve the quality of education and the development of science and research, which has been proved during the crisis to be essential.

The Financing of Tertiary Education in the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany
ŠPAČKOVÁ, Veronika
It is generally recognised that education systems play a fundamental role in our societies and economies. They provide populations with access to knowledge and the opportunity to develop competences and skills. These are important for the well-being of individuals, the good functioning of societies and economic growth. Despite the fact that Federal Republic of Germany and Czech Republic are neighbouring countries and both are members of European Union, each has a different educational system and different system of university financing. The aim of this master thesis is to determine the main differences in financing of education in the Czech Republic and Federal Republic of Germany with a focus on tertiary education and also to propose a suggestion that would lead to the improvement of the tertiary education financing system of the Czech Republic. In the Czech Republic public universities receive funds from the state budget towards their running and capital costs. Higher education institutions receive a financial contribution based on the number of students and graduates, the economic costliness of the relevant study programme and certain quality and performance indicators. The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports is also used to finance public universities through project grants. Part of the budget is allocated to schools on the basis of qualitative criteria. In Germany the public financing arrangements for the education system are the result of decision making processes in the political and administrative system in which the various forms of public spending on education are apportioned between Federation, states (Länder) and local authorities (Kommunen) and according to education policy and objective requirements.

The analysis is focused on the number of students at each university levels, subjects and ultimately analyses the expenditure on tertiary education in the Czech Republic. These values will be compared with the selected OECD countries. In conclusion of the thesis is the SWOT analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of Czech System of higher education, as well as the principle of the law university. The current legislation of 1998 does not reflect the current status and the problems that the Czech higher education is faced with. This prevents the large growth of college students, the reduction in quality, as well as the negative financiation of the entire higher education system.
