Élethosszig tartó tanulás: híd a munkaerő-piac és a felsőoktatás között

Absztrakt

The lifelong learning is one of the most actual topics in the higher educational policy nowadays. This new trend, which aims to raise the limits of the educational part in the human life is one of the main focus points of the whole higher educational sector. It’s known – and shown by the OECD research – that the difference between the salaries earned by those employees, who only have secondary school degree and those employees, who has higher educational degrees is very big in comparison with the other EU member states. This means it’s really profitable in Hungary to study because the labour market awards a premium for the fresh and actual extra knowledge. The return rate of the higher educational investments are very impressive: both the public and private investments spent on tuition fees or other higher educational expenses fastly return. To serve all the needs of the labour market, the higher educational system has to prepare itself to start special new programmes, which are not aimed to award tertiary degrees.
