Description Results of accreditation processes realized by the European Association for Public Administration Accreditation (EAPAA) indicate that only very few schools in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) comply with international standards. More factors may be responsible for such situation – resources, historical paths, etc. The goal of this paper is evaluating the functionality of the system of national accreditation in higher education on the example of two country studies – Czech Republic and Slovakia. Research results discover too many problems connected with probity character of accreditation processes in both countries. It also states that immediate reactions cannot be expected – governments and main actors do not see purposes for change.
