Abstract
The results of a 2019 sociological survey conducted on a nationwide structured Abstract sample of extramural students (2019) and graduates (2000–2018) of Higher Edu cational Institutions (HEIs) are used to reveal cultural, socio-economic, territorial origin of extramural students and graduates and identify the types of their educational strategies as well work experience and status at the enrollment stage. We analyze their movements within the socio-occupational hierarchy as a result of obtaining that education.
Extramural students differ from full-timers in that they feature a more de mocratic socioeconomic composition and possess a different amount of educational resources at the enrollment stage. These differences are presented in the form of four educational trajectories, which correlate with indicators of origin on a scale from “weaker” to “stronger”. “Advantages / disadvantages” of the educational trajectories and status at the enrollment stage, affect the degree of success in the application of distance education in the labor market in accordance with the level of qualifications and specialties of the diploma. Extramural students / graduates are formed from two streams: those who enter the HEIs immediately after secondary education and those who come with work experience. The latter get a higher return on the labor market from distance education.
Keywords:
higher education, extramural studies, college students, graduates, educational trajectories, status, application of HEIs degrees
