- This is the 19th edition of the HEIs Ranking published since 2000 by the educational monthly "Perspektywy". We have reached adulthood, but we are constantly preparing this publication with youthful enthusiasm! We are convincing high school graduates that the ranking will not promptly provide them with the "best university", but it suggests a "best university" for them, that one, after multifactorial analysis, will be best suited to the candidate's ambitions and abilities. Our ranking is also needed by the academic community, for which it is a kind of "mirror". You can see successes in it, but also shortcomings that need to be improved - says Waldemar Siwiński, president of the Education Foundation Perspektywy, initiator of the ranking.
