Statistics Poland (GUS) has released its annual higher education statistics covering students and graduates for the 2023/2024 academic year.

Most charter authorizers begin gathering renewal evidence 18-24 months before the formal renewal vote — meaning a school in a 5-year cycle is being evaluated on years three and four academic data, not year five. Schools that ramp interventions in year five are improving on data the authorizer never sees.

Naming someone without giving them authority or time is a finding waiting to happen.
