WASC ‐ POLISH INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Recent developments in higher education have their effect on planning and administration models of higher education institutions. In this context different computer‐operated models for planning and management have been developed. We give below an example of one such model, the Multiaccessible Subscriber's Numerical System, which has been developed at the Technical University of Wroclaw, Poland. This system, which is already partly in operation, can be compared with such models as CAMPUS (Comprehensive Analytical Methods of Planning in University Systems) operating in Canada and the United States, or the one developed in the Federal Republic of Germany by HIS (Hochschul‐Informations‐System). The information received from the Institute of Organization and Management of the Technical University of Wroclaw, on which the article below is based, underlines the need for international co‐operation in this field.
