Renowned international experts in higher education financing have argued that, owing to large government deficits, tertiary education will not be able to open up and meet growing demand unless cost-sharing principles and efficient student financial aid programmes are introduced. Opponents of cost-sharing in higher education object that introducing tuition fees will raise inequality in access to higher education. Drawing on OECD data, and focusing on college expectations, the authors argue that the effects of ability, gender, and socio-economic background on college expectations are primarily shaped by the characteristics of secondary education systems, such as the degree of stratification and vocational specificity of secondary schools, while the principal characteristics of the tertiary education system, such as enrolment rates and the model of financing, play a much less important role. The results clearly show that, after controlling for the effects of secondary school system characteristics, cost-sharing, as such or by degree, does not affect the formation of college expectations by ability, gender, and socio-economic background as much as the selectivity of the secondary school system does.

The paper is an attempt at answering the question of what are the possible education paths and possibilities of their realization in countryside middle schools; who supports the adolescent; how the future is planned along with the conditions necessary to succeed. A rarely discussed issue of extraschool activities, realized mainly out of school, is also touched upon, as is the influence of such activities on undertaken decisions. Informal activities in the local community of the middle schooler, which influence some of his/her decisions as well as formal and informal relations, appear important. The choice of a school is, after all, a significant bond on the path to adulthood, hence it should be conscious and supported by the family, who are not always able to properly advise the young person.

The article deals with educational aspirations of young people. This undoubtedly is an important type of aspirations for it provides information not only about the dominating models and norms, e.g. those relating to the labour market and life styles, but also about the condition of various social-vocational groups, changes in the stratification hierarchy and openness of the social structure and the educational system itself. The article is based on the results of empirical research carried out in two voivodeships which differ considerably in terms of educational, economic and social characteristics - Dolnoslaskie and Warminsko-Mazurskie. The research was conducted with the help of a questionnaire in the selected schools of the two voivodeships.

In sociological analysis of crisis in Poland during the 1980s the author distinguishes 3 phases of the conflict: the period prior to 1980 (latent development of conflicting interests and aspirations), years 1980-1981 (the outbreak of the conflict and open articulation of interests) and the period that started with the introduction of martial law (an attempt of settling the conflict by eliminating one of its sides). Studying the dynamics of the conflict the author pays attention to the shift from dissatisfaction by the distribution system to the dissatisfaction with the efficiency of the economic system, on the one hand, and to the shift from anger directed at powerful elite to the critique of the methods of coming into power and limitations for authentic political participation, on the other. Conflict has evolved from a conflict of interests of particular groups into the global conflict involving the whole society. Moreover, beside the resistance to the system the crises brought about the grass root program of reforms. Although deprivation theory party explains the dynamics of the Polish conflict, the latter also possesses several unique features (e.g. high non-conformism of the working class; low level of adaptive reactions to conflict). The author suggests considering factors that might influence the unique course of the conflict in Poland and speculates on the potential means of overcoming conflict that could account for these unique features.
