Political, social and economic transformation, which have been taking place in Poland from 1989, were the grounds for the changes in the higher education system. Especially young people showed an interest in education, because they had limited chances in finding an attractive and well-paid job. This is why an evolution in the range of higher education was marked by a rapid demand for higher education. As an effect of this social requirements there was an increase of the number of higher education institutions. In 1990-2007 came into being 42 public schools and 322 private schools. The higher education financing system in Poland performs the division into public schools financing from the state budget and private schools which procure funds sporadically for the statutory activities. The development of the personnel academic is not stable and shows a tendency towards getting older. The decrease in birth rate is not conductive to the development of the private universities, which incomes are mainly from the fees collecting from students.
