PRIVATIZACIJA VISOKOG OBRAZOVANjA U REPUBLICI SRBIJI

Abstract

The social changes that characterize the current period have their consequences in the field of higher education. A new practice is emerging that higher education is viewed through market mechanisms and that it is equated with goods. The state is changing its approach in relation to important social phenomena and thus in relation to education. As a consequence, there is a specific position of higher education institutions founded by the Republic of Serbia. The state in no way undertakes mechanisms so that the institutions of which it is the founder have a better position in relation to the higher education institutions whose founder is a private entity. The state even encourages investments of the capital of private founders in higher education, and interprets this, quite wrongly, as significant investments that have been made in the field of higher education.
