21 Monitoring The HEIs must provide the information requested by the Ministry for the purpose of evaluation, development, statistics and other information needed for monitoring and steering insofar as this information is not otherwise available. The HEIs are expected to present correct information on their performance and finances in a way that enables their progress be evaluated against the set goals. Development is annually monitored through indicators which gauge effectiveness and quality The universities must manage their finances efficiently and use their resources to good effect From 2010 universities close the books according to the accounting legislation universities' financial statements are public documents The Ministry of Education gives feedback to the HEIs on their activities and development needs during the agreement period. The feedback procedure is used to steer and monitor the implementation of higher education policy objectives during the agreement period. Feedback is given during the intervening years between negotiations.
22 Evaluation The HEIs are responsible for the quality of their education, research and other activities, and for their continuous development and utilisation. The quality of performance is indirectly taken into account in the MoE indicator targets and in the monitoring of their attainment. Regular evaluations and external audits of quality assurance systems are undertaken to enhance the quality and impact of the educational, research and artistic activities of the universities. The evaluations are organised by the Finnish Higher Education Evaluation Council (FINHEEC), and the Academy of Finland. The findings and reports of the evaluations are public The universities, the National Union of University Students in Finland (SYL) and the Ministry of Education and Culture are developing a national university student feedback system.

25 University reform (2010) The Universities Act (558/2009) includes provisions on the mission, administration, operational funding and steering of universities, and matters relating to research and education, students and personnel universities became legal persons separate from the State, either as corporations under public law or foundations under the Foundations Act. Universities took the place of the State as employers The Ministry of Education and Culture ensures by means of steering that university activities conform to the higher education policy aims set by Parliament and the Government. Lighter and more strategic level performance agreement procedure between MoE and universities Evaluated short term results of the evaluation indicate improvements especially in strategic, economic and internal management and in co-operation with surrounding society
26 University reform (2010) Aims of the university reform Greater autonomy Stronger financial and administrative status: independent legal persons and supplied with sufficient capital. Greater latitude with finances: donations, income from capital and business activities As legal persons, the universities are better able to operate with the surrounding society. Having their own capital, the universities will have more scope for operating based on their own decisions. Stronger community relations e.g. external members of the board Reform did not change The freedom of research, art and education Self-government and academic decision-making Research and higher education remain as the main tasks of the universities Education leading to a degree free of charge The government continues to be responsible for funding the public duties of the universities
27 Universities' core funding formula reform 2013 Joint working group of the Ministry and Finnish universities proposal published November 2011, act passed by government April 2012 Vision 2020 for the Finnish universities Improved quality Deeper internationalisation Clearer profiles Greater efficiency Stronger impact New core funding formula from 2013 A step towards the vision Improved steering effect Limited number of indicators Enhanced transparency Funding allocated to universities in a lump sum
28 Universities core funding from 2013
29 Universities' core funding formula review 2015 Review of the 2013 funding formula Aim is to improve quality aspect of the model Essentially the same joint working group which made proposition for 2013 funding formula Data from the new quality-based Publication Forum will be included to the funding formula Federation of Finnish Learned Societies has completed the Publication Forum Project at the initiative of the Universities Finland (UNIFI) Data from new student feedback system will be included to the funding formula In January 2012, Universities Finland (UNIFI) set up a working group to prepare a national student feedback survey for universities Funding formula revision will come into effect 2015
30 The polytechnic reform Aims of the Polytechnic Reform To give the polytechnics a stronger position to meet the changes and challenges of the working life, society and regions As independent legal persons polytechnics will have more independent status and more flexibility to better react and response to the needs of the surrounding society To enhance the quality and effectiveness of teaching and RDI To strengthen their role within the system of innovation To ensure international competitiveness of the polytechnic system Efforts will be made to gain the commitment of other actors in society to support the polytechnics' mission
31 Timetable and stages The polytechnic reform The 1st strage of the reform is expected to take effect on 1 January 2014 (amendments to legislation) concerning: new funding model new operating licenses updated educational responsibilities amendments currently discussed in the parliament In later stage: transferring the polytechnic financing from local authorities to the government change of the legal personality of polytechnics
