Investiranje u visoko obrazovanje: Republika Srbija u međunarodnom okruženju

Higher quality of higher education services, improved working conditions and economic situation are predominantly determined by the total amount of investments in higher education, in particular by state funds. On the other hand, the investment model for higher education, economic power and budgetary capacity of the state, determine the amount of public funds invested in higher education. The subject matter of this paper is the level of public investments in higher education in the Republic of Serbia, i.e. AP Vojvodina, as a European region, in comparison to selected European countries, which is analysed according to the quantitative indicator i.e. budgetary appropriations per student. The goal of this study is to determine changes in ranking of the Republic of Serbia, i.e. AP Vojvodina, through implementation of the new investment model for higher education, in comparison to selected European countries. Study results show significant decrease of public investments in higher education, in the Republic of Serbia, in comparison to selected European countries. The results also imply that implementation of the new investment model for higher education increases the volume of investments, as well as development of entrepreneurship in higher education.Veći kvalitet visokoobrazovnih usluga, bolji uslovi rada i materijalni položaj u presudnoj meri su determinisani ukupnim obimom investiranja u visoko obrazovanje, a posebno javnih sredstava od strane države. S druge strane, model investiranja u visoko obrazovanje, ekonomska snaga i budžetski kapacitet države opredeljuju iznos javnih sredstava koja se investiraju u visoko obrazovanje. Predmet istraživanja rada je visina javnog investiranja u visoko obrazovanje u Republici Srbiji, odnosno u AP Vojvodini, kao evropskoj regiji, u poređenju sa odabranim zemljama Evrope koja se analizira na osnovu kvantitativnog pokazatelja, iznosa investiranih budžetskih sredstava po studentu. Cilj istraživanja je da se primenom novog modela investiranja u visoko obrazovanje utvrde promene ranga Republike Srbije, odnosno AP Vojvodine, u odnosu na odabrane evropske zemlje. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da se u Republici Srbiji, iz javnih izvora, investira značajno manje sredstava u visoko obrazovanje u odnosu na odabrane evropske zemlje i da primena novog modela investiranja povećava obim investiranja, ali i razvoj preduzetništva u visokom obrazovanju
