The Communication NIK reminded that the state budget does not cover the cost of the recruitment procedure. Therefore, universities must acquire them on their own. In determining the recruitment fee rectors should, however, guided by the provisions of the Act, under which the amount of this fee should cover the actual costs necessary steps recruitment.
Meanwhile – by NIK – part of the university determined the amount of charges of recruitment without establishing the relevant cost calculation. As a result, fees from candidates were sometimes overestimated.
Disclaimer NIK
The Chamber raised it to restrict the ways of spending funds from charges of recruitment (including those downloaded unduly). Also found problems with student dismissal of charges. Universities indeed fulfilled the statutory duty to determine the conditions for exemptions, but accepted principles in practice restrict or constrain the use of these exemptions.
Supreme Chamber of Control has asked the Minister of Science and Higher Education to define the framework list of the necessary elements to be taken into account when determining fees for proceedings related to the adoption on the study.
“report is restrained “
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of science and higher education Jaroslaw Gowin said on Monday that the report NIK approaches” in a restrained “because the scale of the irregularities pointed out by the control body is” really extremely insignificant. ” He announced that it will ask the universities listed in the report with reference to the allegations.
– If someone wants me to persuade me to increase control over the universities, I say definitely – no, because the universities and so are subject to continual checks – said Gowin in Krakow. As noted, the report refers to the period preceding the rule of Law and Justice.
Education in Poland is free
On the other hand, the conclusions of the NIK addressed to the rectors of universities apply a fair determination of the amount of fees the proceedings related to the adoption on studies in the respective direction and a certain level of education.
In the opinion of NIK adjust the internal regulations of the university concerning. deceleration of the fees students. The idea is not to block support to students, which help is needed.
– Universities napychają their budgets money ordinary students – commented a spokesman for the Independent Students Association Tomasz Leś. – Rectors should note that education in Poland is free, and fees for part-time should be calculated fairly so that every young person regardless of financial status have access to higher education market – he pointed out.
high maintenance costs
Leś drew attention to the high cost of living for people who are studying in a place other than a family. According to him, important should be equal opportunities for people from small towns and the big resorts. – Unfortunately, unethical policy of the university often does not help. We need to mobilize the entire environment – academic staff, ministries, students, to fight the pathologies, which says the Supreme Chamber of Control – he added.
The report NIK showed that without establishing the relevant cost calculation determined the amount of the fee for the procedure relating to the adoption to study eg. at the University of Jan Kochanowski (UJK) in Kielce (years 2014/2015 – 2015/2016) and the University of Economics (EU) in Poznan (for the academic year 2013/2014). At these universities adopted the maximum rate of 85 zł, resulting from regulations issued each year the ministry of science. In addition to the EU in Poznan, Wroclaw University of Technology and Physical Education in Warsaw, the cost of the recruitment process was unreliable calculated and accounted for, which constituted a violation of the Law on Higher Education – established controllers.
downloading of candidates excessive fees recruitment checked universities received in the academic years 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 almost 900 thousand. zł additional undue income – determined the SCC. They also pointed out, among others, that the recruitment fee charged by the AWF in a controlled period included physical fitness tests, which ultimately was not carried out.
Other tasks than recruitment
in some cases money from charging recruitment universities allocated to the task, which – according to NIK – can not be regarded as necessary steps in the recruitment process.
The Communication NIK also noted that since 2005. (when the matriculation examination replaced the entrance exam to study) universities do not incur additional costs associated with the preparation and implementation of entrance exams. “Costs are from year to year also minimized through the introduction by the public universities systems that allow collection and processing of data from the National Register of Matur, including generating a list of persons enrolled and electronic notification of selected applicants” – the authors write.
audited institutions generally provide students with part-time studies I and II level training conditions comparable with studies landlines selected for the study fields of study. However, two controlled universities (UJK in Kielce and the EU in Poznan) unreliable prepare a calculation of the cost of education for part-time: not doszacowały these costs or inflated charges.
NIK also said that four universities ineffectively enforced unpaid charges from students for educational services. As a result, in 2012-2015 part of receivables (1.2 million zł) barred.
audit was carried out in five universities (University of Physical Education in Warsaw, Warsaw and Wroclaw Technical Universities and the Universities: Economics in Poznan and Jan Kochanowski) between June and September last year. r. The audit covered the academic years 2011 / 2012-2014 / 2015 and – in the field prepared by the university regulations concerning tuition fees – the academic year 2015/2016 (until completion of the audit).
