Is prolonging of studies at universities in Czech Republic effective for students and for the society?

Práca kvantifikovala celkové počty študentov od roku 1999 až do 31.3.2015, ktorí ukončili štúdium v rámci roku navyše nad štandardnú dĺžku štúdia. V sledovanom období celkovo absolvovalo štúdium v SDS navýšenej o jeden semester takmer 130 tisíc študentov, v SDS navýšenej o jeden rok potom 117 tisíc študentov. Celkový počet neúspešných štúdii, ktoré boli ukončené až v predlžovanom období je 40 tisíc, z toho 28 tisíc v SDS navýšenej o jeden semester a 12 tisíc navýšených o jeden rok. Priame náklady na štúdium týchto predlžovaných štúdií boli za rok 2014 odhadnuté na 1,1 mld. Kč (z toho 200 miliónov predstavujú zmarenú investíciu na štúdia ktoré boli ukončené neúspešne). Práca tiež vyčíslila oportunitné náklady v podobe príjmov, ktoré mohla ČR mať, ak by predlžujúci študenti už pracovali a odhadla ich výšku po započítaní priamych aj nepriamych daní na 4,7 mld. Kč za rok 2014.

Thesis have quantified the total number of students from 1999 until 3th March, 2015 who graduated within the excess year after the standard length of study (SDS). During the reporting period, the total number of finished studies in SDS plus anadditional semester totalled nearly 130,000 students, in SDS plus an additional one year were then finished 117,000 studies. The total number of failed studies, which ended up in the additional extra year in period is 40,000, of which 28,000 in SDS plus one semester and 12,000 in SDS increased by one year. Direct costs of the prolonged studies were estimated at 1.1 billion Kč for 2014. Of which 200 million are sunk costs to studies that have not been completed successfully. The work also calculated the opportunity costs in terms of revenue that could have Czech Republic earned, if the student have finished in SDS and have worked which was estimated at 4.7 billion Kč including both direct and indirect taxes.
