The regime of schools of higher education between 1920 and 1990
Abstract
Description
The analysis presented in this paper has been limited to the period between 1920–1990
and focuses on legal acts that regulated the organisation and functioning of schools
of higher education in that period. Between 1920–1939 of fundamental importance
were two laws on higher education, one of 1920 and one of 1933. After 1945 the
main regulations were included in a decree of the Council of Ministers of 1947 and
Acts of 1951, 1958 and 1982. The solutions proposed in those Acts were not uniform
and ranged from decentralisation of higher education to its state supervision. The
differences concerned, in particular, the legal procedure of establishing (and liquidating)
establishments of higher education and the extent to which those schools
were independent in shaping their internal structure or constituting their bodies, or
in their competences. This evolution of legislation on higher education from decentralisation
to hierarchical subordinance was visible not only in the relevant Acts but
it was also, especially in the Polish People’s Republic period (1945–1989), manifested
in subsequent amending acts (1956, 1968 and 1985).
Although higher education in the analysed period was not uniform, it always
included state and non-state (public and private) establishments of higher education
of varied legal status that covered academies (schools of higher education (1920)
academic and non-academic schools of higher education 1933, academic schools
of higher education and vocational schools of higher education (1947) schools of
higher education in which education ended with students earning the 1st or 2nd
degree (Bachelor’s and Master’s) academic titles (1951–1956), and schools offering
vocational and magister (Master’s degree) courses, including Master’s courses for
Bachelor’s degree holders (1958, 1982).
