THE FUNCTION AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION SECTOR IN THE COMMUNITY
This quantitative research was conducted with the aspiration of expanding the theoretical and practical contribution to the field of satisfaction measurement. In the region of Central and Eastern Europe, there is a noticeable absence of student satisfaction surveys both nationally and at the level of individual universities. In comparison to Western universities in the Czech Republic, students are more interested in public universities, where studies are paid for by the state. However, the literature is mainly based on research on student satisfaction at private universities with paid education, while the measurement of satisfaction is usually timed after the educational experience. In all these areas, a certain degree of expansion of existing knowledge has been achieved.
