Polish universities have just started suffering from the effects of demographic decline whose downward trend shows that this negative situation may reverse only in two decades. According to this fact - precisely speaking gross enrolment ratio - the number of students will fall by one third. The consequences for universities (especially non-state ones) seem to be obvious - closing unpopular fields of studies, bankruptcy of schools or their consolidation. However, it is a very advantageous situation from the point of view of educational policy - there is a feasibility to carry out profound reforms. What are the possibilities of mitigating the destructing effects of demographic decline? 1) Increasing the interest of net enrolment ratio (further dissemination of secondary education, continuous growth aspirations of young people); 2) Elasticity of educational offer (greater adaptation to market requirements, counteracting the effects of academic inflation); 3) Limiting the number of Polish students studying abroad (within the framework of international exchange, individual decisions); 4) Attracting students from foreign countries (also outside the EU); 5) Increasing the interest of gross enrolment ratio (growing importance of lifelong education - postgraduate studies, renovation of knowledge).

The article discusses the necessity of providing an effective support for women who play the mother’s role. Among many categories of social support, “provision of services” was analyzed, because much research shows that this kind of support is needed. In the view of playing the role of a mother this kind of service would aim at supporting women in performing the duties which result from the fact that they are mothers, for instance, taking care of the child during the mother’s absence. It seems that this kind of support is especially in need, because many women, who decide to be mothers, come across many difficulties, mainly connected with taking care of the baby. It happens due to the fact that mothers, apart from running the household and taking care of the children, are in a regular employment. Nowadays it seems to be crucial to improve the quality and availability of this kind of support, because the one that is now offered, seems to be ineffective and insufficient.

This article deals with the transformation of the previously non-existent private higher edu-cation in Poland and Central-Eastern Europe from 1990 to 202o. In Poland, moreover, pri-vatization was particularly intense because of the increase in the country's population. The number of students increased fivefold in the first 15 years. The article describes the relation-ship between private and public higher education. From 2010 onwards, the number of stu-dents began to decline and predictions were made about the demise of private education. These predictions were incorrect. Private universities began, for example, to accept students from abroad and teach in English. Part-time students are now more likely to choose private universities than in the past. About io% ofthese universities have become tediary education institutions, whose students earn more after their studies than graduates of state universities.

W artykule podjęty został problem decentralizacji edukacji w Polsce w warunkach niżu demograficznego. Na skutek tych zmian zwiększają się nierówności terytorialne, społeczne i edukacyjne. Finansowanie organizacji oświaty w gminach ze środków centralnych zostało znacznie ograniczone, w związku z tym rosną wydatki samorządów związane z edukacją. Liczba uczniów w szkołach obniżyła się w latach 2000–2011 o 30%, co doprowadziło do redukcji i zamykania szkół publicznych. Szczególnie dotkliwie skutki zarządzania dotknęły peryferyjne gminy wiejskie, które likwidując szkoły lub podejmując próby ich konsolidacji, skazują dzieci i młodzież na nierówności edukacyjne, uciążliwe dojazdy, na utratę możliwości uczestnictwa w zajęciach wyrównawczych i rozwojowych. Rodzice zaś z powodu likwidacji komunikacji mają utrudnioną lub niemożliwą współpracę ze szkołą. Można dodać, iż peryferyjne środowiska wiejskie po likwidacji szkół coraz bardziej zagrożone są oddaleniem od centrów cywilizacyjnych i kulturowych.

The article tackles the problem of decentralization of education in Poland in the face of demographic decline. As a result of these changes the territorial, social and educational inequalities are on the rise. Financing of education in municipalities from central government was significantly limited and therefore the educational expenses of local governments are on the rise. The number of pupils in schools dropped down by 30% in years 2000–2011, which caused a reduction and closing down of schools. The most severely affected have been the peripheral schools. They either close down or attempt to consolidate, which makes children suffer greater inequality, burdensome travel, loss of opportunity to take part in extracurricular and compensatory classes. Parents suffer from more difficult communication and cooperation with school due to seizure of transport. One may add that peripheral, rural communities due to school closure are in greater danger of regressing from civilization and cultural centres.
