Abstract

Thinking about higher education the author referred to university traditions. Social needs changes and development of universities have influenced the higher education model. Higher education has become differentiated and various types of schools of university level have to fulfil different functions. These transformations are not reflected in the overall approach to educational issues and they give rise to numerous problems. All this demands a new strategy in school education at the post-secondary level and a new approach to the higher education model. What becomes an important message of this study is drawing attention to the chances resulting from treating education as social good and from creating such a model of school education in which university level schools (fulfilling various dominating functions) support one another in their activity and development.
