Summary

The draft organizes and simplifies regulations related to higher education. The bill increases flexibility for both students and higher education institutions, promotes cooperation between higher education institutions, strengthens the ties between universities and society, and enables the development of an attractive career model for academic staff. The bill does not change the fundamentals of the higher education system, i.e. free education, extensive autonomy of higher education institutions and three-level higher education. The explanatory letter states that the current higher education code was created in the 1990s. During twenty years, people's and society's expectations of higher education have changed significantly. The legal framework must keep up with the changed needs of students – people learn throughout their lives, move between educational institutions, study levels and countries and expect more practicality from their studies.
