SOME PITFALLS OF EFFICIENCY IN CONTEMPORARY HIGHER EDUCATION
Keywords:
Long-Term Intent, Ministry of Education, higher education, quality, openness, efficiency, effect, economy, analysis, study program, study branch, quality management, system, systemic approach, key process, Bologna process, bachelor study, practiceAbstract
The strategic objective of the Long-Term Intent of the Czech Ministry of Education represents a fundamental change in orientation towards the development of higher education from quantity to quality, which is due to the enormous growth in students’ figures in recent years. The aim of the implementation of the objective is to establish three priority areas: quality, openness and efficiency. The analysis of the higher education system in terms of quality management has shown weaknesses in the systems approach to the structure of programs and lack of definition of key processes. Moreover, the current progress of the Bologna process is not fully satisfactory, the bachelors are not ready for practice and principle of multi-stage education has not been properly understood and applied.
