Basic facts
 Public, private, state HEIs
 At public HEIs:
 Studies in Czech – free of charge for all
 Students are financed for the standard duration of
studies + 1 year
 After this period the HEI does not receive any money
from the state
 Students are charged fees – the minimum amount is
15 – 20% of the average normative (e.g. 7 500 CZK),
usually they are charged the normative belonging to
the study programme
 The money goes into the scholarship fund
 Studies in a foreign language – fee – in the
competence of a HEI
5
Funding of HEIs
 Normative funding – formula based
 Non-normative funding
 Student affairs
 Research and Development funding
 Programme funding – capital investment
6
Funding of HEIs
 Normative funding



Agreed increase of number of students contract
According to the number of students in
particular study programme and the cost of
study of the respective study programme
According to the number of graduates in
particular study programme and the cost of
study of the respective study programme
7
Formula funding
 Formula funding - total lump sum = sum of products
of the number of students in particular study
programme and the cost of study of the respective
study programme



2005 - base normative cost of study is 33 320 CZK
(1 100 €) for an academic year, per a student, average
normative is 53 000 CZK (1 770 €)
Calculation made on the bases of students admitted
the previous year (to 31 October)
High drop out (comparable to the number of graduates)
=>
 Since 2005 number of graduates has been included
into the formula (enhancing the output orientation)

normative related to a graduate is 6 825 CZK (230 €)
8
Funding of education
 7 categories of study programmes
 Basic normative 33 320 CZK /1 100 CZK€
 Highest cost of the study programme per 1 student
196 588 CZK / 6 550 €

The main ideas of the present reform
 overcoming the lasting underfunding of the
universities and their internal debts;
 facilitating a gradual division of the universities
into teaching and research institutions;
 increasing competitiveness of the Czech
universities before joining the European
Research and Education Area;
 shifting from the quantitative growth of
universities to the qualitative growth;
 output oriented funding
14
The main ideas of the present reform
(continuation)






introducing large integrated development
programmes for all universities;
massively supporting scientific research at
universities including doctoral studies;
supporting the internacionalization of study;
enabling the universities to rise salaries with respect
to the qualification structure of the academic staff;
changing in the system of social support of students
(especially in accommodation and scholarships);
investing in campuses development and equipment.
