Gabunia, Mariam ; Kohoutek, Jan (advisor) ; Veselý, Arnošt (referee)
The Unified National Examination (UNE) is a policy, which regulates the students' admission procedure to higher education institutions in Georgia.

Second, no model of higher education governance is implemented in its entirety, resulting in hybrid models of higher education governance. Third, even though the state is steering higher education systems in the same direction, public policy instruments adopted by the government in different countries varies.
