Abstract
Polish higher education is one of the most heavily marketised systems in Europe, due to its extraordinarily high share of fee-paying students and the highest share of enrolments (and student numbers) in a private sector in
Europe (0.58 million students out of 1.82 million in 2010). Expected demographics may fundamentally change the educational setting in the country, though: it may lead to the re-monopolisation of the system by the
public sector, which was unthinkable a decade ago.
