Pešíková, Natálie ; Tichá, Milena (advisor) ; Stracený, Josef (referee)
v AJ The thesis addresses funding of public universities in the Czech Republic. It describes, analyzes and assesses the current method of university funding from public and other resources and points out the most important issues in this area. A part of the study is devoted to the topic of introducing tuition fees as one of the possible methods of students' participation on the university's funding. The study provides arguments for and against such measure and proposes a solution on how to apply it in the Czech Republic. In relation to that, the focus is also posed on financial aid to students, specifically student savings for education and student loans on tuition fees without which the introduction of such measure is difficult to imagine. Criteria which the system providing loans to students should account for are considered and further other possible alternatives of the system are introduced and assessed. The final section presents several possibilities from which public universities may obtain funding beyond the basic framework of the state budget.

Dropout in higher education from perspective of public universities
Richterová, Kateřina ; Vlk, Aleš (advisor) ; Fliegl, Tomáš (referee)
This master thesis deals with the dropout in higher education at public universities in the Czech Republic. Main goal was to gain a perspective, how public universities look at the rising dropout, on which bases the attitudes of universities differ, how great attention the universities pay to dropout in their annual reports and long-term goals and which impact it has with respect to national and international policies. Answers to research questions were obtained firstly by analyzing of the secondary data (literature, research, public policy documents, annual reports and long-term goals of public universities) and secondly by analyzing of the primary data (expert semi-structured interviews with representatives of public universities, seminars on the dropout in higher education, internship at the Ministry of education, youth and sports). The outcome of the data analysis shows that dropout is a significant problem for the most of public universities because it has a growing trend year by year. Most of them see the dropout through the pragmatic perspective due to financing of public universities. Many others external and internal factors have impact on behavior and attitude towards to the dropout in higher education, yet pragmatic perspective seems to be essential.

Educated people are becoming one of the most important priorities for the countries nowadays. It is the educated population that is the main prerequisite, which can ensure economic growth, stability and prosperity of a country. Because universities are considered the top education centers, it is suitable to focus on themselves. Tertiary education is one of the areas which is bound to national budgets of both the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Both countries must solve difficult questions focused on allocation of funds to individual levels of education and the schools themselves. The bachelor thesis focuses on financial system of tertiary education in the two monitored countries and in description of mechanisms, which govern the subsidy policy. At the introduction, the education is set into the context of public finance, where its dimension is perceived as a positive externality. Later it fluently continues to a legislative framework of tertiary education of both countries as one of the factors, which affects the economics of universities with funds. Then an analysis of system of financing the tertiary education is performed, where there are quality coefficientes introduced in the Czech Republic. It consists of partial indexes, therefore the amount of obtained funds from the government for public universities depends on indexes of the coefficient. It is for instance results of development, research and art activities, number of professors and associate professors, or number of employed alumnis. At the conclusion the goals and knowledge coming from the analysis are summarized.

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.
