Measuring the performance of Public Universities of Georgia: The Case of Social Sciences Faculties Problems of education quality and knowledge production
Shubitidze, Sopiko ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Senkova, Olga (referee)
In this research I investigate the problem of education quality at the faculties of Social Sciences at four Georgian Public Universities. The findings of research are derived through interviewing of professors and document analysis of Georgian legislation concerning higher education and European-level frameworks supporting the enhancement of education quality. I deal with the problem of quality using the mixture of theories. I divided researched topics in three parts: Ideological, Institutional and personal-level. The majority of theoretical claims were disproved in the local context of Georgia. Education quality and knowledge production are multi-faceted problems at Georgian Public Universities, Faculties of Social Sciences and it mainly is related to the scarce state resources allocated to HEIs in general in Georgia.

Impact of income inequality on quality of tertiary education: Should professors from Cambridge thank to Robin Hood?
Jedlička, Roman ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Nikolovová, Pavla (referee)
Many factors influence quality of higher education. Current research mostly works with economic factors (GDP, higher education expenditures etc.). However, there are also publications that examine an impact of sociological aspects on quality of higher education. My research examined the impact of income inequality on quality of tertiary education. In the analysis of socioeconomic data of 76 countries I have proven that there is no linear relationship between income inequality and quality of tertiary education. According to my results the size of population, GDP per capita and being English speaking country are main drivers of quality of tertiary education. Modified model without outliers also shows that there is a positive effect of R&D expenditures on quality of tertiary education.

Analysis of the relationship of education and economic growth with the focus on tertiary education
Pantovič, Nikola ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Pfeifer, Lukáš (referee)
The thesis verifies the relationship between education and economic growth using economic theory and current data about education in the Czech Republic. After verifying this relationship the current state and the form of Czech education are analyzed. Demonstration of declining results of Czech primary and secondary education with the usage of international comparative investigations follows together with the detection of the absence of similar data in tertiary education. These findings direct the main goal of the thesis to ascertain the causes of the declining results of primary and secondary schools and their impact on the quality of higher education. Subsequent analysis of the Czech tertiary education identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the higher education system and also positive and negative trends in this area during the last decade. Final identification of the causes determining the current level and quality of tertiary education leads to the submission of recommendations to improve the quality and increase the competitiveness of Czech universities in international comparisons. Providing top quality education is one of the decisive factors influencing the competitiveness and future economic growth of the country.

Vliv zdrojů financování na kvalitu terciárního vzdělávání
Jedlička, Roman ; Chytilová, Helena (advisor) ; Pichaničová, Ludmila (referee)
This paper examines impact of the volume and structure of expenditure on quality of tertiary education expressed by the number of elite universities. The thesis also critically evaluates the academic rankings and their methodology. With econometric analysis based on data of OECD countries and partner countries I was able to prove that the total volume of expenditure positively affects the quality of tertiary education. When evaluating structure of expenditures, different results emerged. While the private expenditures positively affect the quality of tertiary education, the impact of the public expenditures on the quality of tertiary education has not been detected. Possible causes of these results are discussed consequently.
