De-privatization of higher education – viewed also as its republicization – is caused by declining demographics and may lead to the demise of the largely demand-absorbing private higher education. Poland is shown as moving against the two powerful global trends related to privatization: private sector growth and increasing reliance on cost-sharing. Data related to funding and provision in 1990-2005 (expansion) and 2006 and beyond (contraction) are analyzed in detail, and policy implications of ongoing and expected changes are discussed.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Prywatyzacja i deprywatyzacja: od ekspansji (1990–2005) do implozji (2006–2025) systemu szkolnictwa wyższego w Polsce}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/110466/PDF-MASTER/N117-03-Kwiek.pdf}, keywords={privatization, de-privatization, Poland, universities, demographic pressures, private sector, public/private dynamics, universal higher education, postcommunist transformations}, }
