In the mid-1990s, 6.8% of Poles had higher education; 2.6% were graduates from post-secondary schools; 50.5% had secondary education (general, technical or vocational); 33.7% had primary education; and 6.3% had either incomplete primary education or none.
In the 2000/2001 academic year 1,584,800 students were enrolled in 310 higher-education institutions, with 410,800 of them at 15 universities; 28,100 at 10 medical academies; 332,100 at 94 economic schools; 137,500 at 19 teacher's schools; 12,000 at 21 arts schools; and 9,200 at 14 theological schools.
Compared with the previous academic year (1999/2000), the total number of students increased by 152,900. There were 115 state and 195 private higher-education institutions. Of the 1,584,800 students, 472,340 were enrolled in private schools.
The number of people with higher education employed in all sectors of Poland's economy (agriculture excluded) grows rapidly; for example, between 1958 and 1994 it tripled. Most MA degree holders work in education and science institutions (40-50%) and justice (over 30%). An increasing number of young Poles seek to gain higher education as the diploma has become a valuable asset on the job market, especially when they look for the most attractive, prestigious and well-paid positions. |
