The law on higher education provides for a relatively high level of autonomy of state higher education schools with regard to setting and collecting their fees. Still, the presidents of schools, while setting the recruitment fees, should be governed by the provisions of the law which set forth that the fee shall cover the actual costs of necessary recruitment procedures, and shall not be higher than those costs. NIK has conducted an audit at five public schools in order to examine whether the principles that they set for fees are in compliance with the binding regulations, with special focus on the changes introduced in the law on higher education introduced since 1st October 2014.
