AbstractThis chapter examines the context of higher education and upper-secondary education in Mexico, focusing on the role of the University of Guadalajara – the second largest in the country – and its response to the pandemic by strengthening collaboration with the upper-secondary system.During the pandemic, the lack of articulation between higher education and upper-secondary education posed a challenge for the transition to online education in the University of Guadalajara. This chapter discusses how the different initiatives advanced by the University to face this unprecedented situation helped to reduce the barriers between these levels and led to academic innovation, resulting in valuable discussions on the educational model and teaching practices for the post-Covid-19 world.Finally, the authors reflect on the views of faculty regarding the need for an innovative educational model, concluding that a closer collaboration between systems is needed for the benefit of students and faculty.

The present study provides a detailed analysis of upper secondary education dropout patterns in Mexico, exploring its consequences and possible causes. To perform the analysis we combine different databases and statistical methods ranging from the use of surveys with information on specific individuals to data aggregated at the municipal and state level. The main value added is the simultaneous analysis of the influence of individual-family, community, and macroaggregate factors, on school dropout in the country.

The authors tried to analyse the implication of one year of online education in the Romanian primary education, lower secondary education, upper secondary education and even in the early childhood system. COVID-19 was seen as a social phenomenon world-wide and also in Romanian, that affected many elements of the society, including education. The study is based on a survey and used the online questionnaire investigation composed of 10 questions and authors have received more than 2500 answers from the respondents. The investigation took place during 29th of January 2021 and 11th of February 2021. The study concluded that, in the Romanian primary and secondary education system most schools migrated quickly to an online education system. The result shows also that over 82% of the students have participated rhythmic to online education and 50% to 60% of them used a Google Classroom platform or another virtual classroom. In the authors opinion the future of the Romanian education system will represent from now on a continuous debate between classic and online education, considering that only 10% of the Romanian students have no access to Internet and another 8% of the students did not have a computer, a laptop, a tablet, or a smartphone and obvious could not take online classes.

ResumenEste documento presenta los resultados de analizar las expectativas y percepciones que padres defamilia y docentes tienen sobre las funciones sociales y educativas de la educación media. Paratal fin, se conformaron 32 grupos focales en los departamentos de Sucre y Antioquia en el 2015.Padres de familia y docentes mencionan que la educación media debe preparar a los estudiantespara ingresar al mercado de trabajo, aunque también afirman que los debe formar para el ingresoa la educación superior. De ahí la importancia de que exista un balance entre las competenciasgenerales y las laborales. Cuestionan también la duración de dos años de la educación media.Consideran que la duración debería ser de tres años, pues dos años no son suficientes para que losestudiantes puedan tomar decisiones sobre su vida adulta. Algunos participantes en los gruposfocales abogan por que la educación media esté más articulada con la educación superior mediantecursos que puedan ser ofrecidos por instituciones de educación superior y, posteriormente,reconocidos como parte del programa que cursen los estudiantes una vez ingresen a la educaciónsuperior.AbstractThis paper shows the results derived from the analysis done over parents’ and teachers’expectations and perceptions on the social and educative functions of upper-secondary education.To this end, 32 focus groups were done in Sucre and Antioquia Departments in 2015. Parents andteachers say that upper-secondary education has the function of preparing students for the labormarket, albeit it provides students with skills to access higher education. Consequentially, it isimportant that there exists a balance between generic and labor-oriented market skills. Parentsand teachers consider that the length of upper-secondary education should be three years, sincetwo years are not enough in order students to make decisions over their life as adults. Someparticipants in the focus groups mention that upper-secondary education should be morearticulated with higher education by means of courses offered by higher education institutions.These courses could be recognized as part of bachelor program when students finally accesshigher education.

Participation In Higher Education

This chapter draws on a mixed methods longitudinal study of a cohort of young adults in Ireland who were followed from their entry to secondary education to their outcomes three to four years after completing upper secondary education. In keeping with previous international research, the study findings show that the main pathways taken by young people reflect their gender, social class background, and academic performance. However, the analyses go further than previous work by indicating the way in which the nature of postschool transitions are firmly embedded in earlier school experiences. In particular, the chapter contributes to the ongoing debate on the effects of school composition to show that school social mix has a very significant impact on postschool outcomes, with those who attended middle-class schools having particularly high levels of participation in higher education. This is consistent with higher education assuming a ‘taken for granted’ quality in middle-class schools. In contrast, young people who had attended working-class schools are much more likely than those in middle-class or socially mixed schools to enter the labor market directly upon leaving school, even taking account of their exam grades. School climate plays an important role, with negative relations with teachers serving to discourage young people from remaining on in any form of education/training. The chapter concludes by highlighting the implications of the findings for our understanding of youth transitions and for policy designed to improve equity of outcomes.

Admission Decisions

AbstractThis paper uses register data to study how a particular age reward feature affects admission into two highly competitive study programs: medicine and law. The Norwegian admission system to higher education is centralized, and applicants compete in two quotas: one quota almost entirely based on grade point average from upper secondary education and one quota where students can compete with improved grades and where being older automatically increases the chance of acceptance, by awarding age points. For these study programs, we find that the admission system creates a waiting game, as gaining admission in the second quota is nearly impossible without accumulating a substantial amount of age points. If age predicts completion in higher education, this waiting game might be justified. However, if anything, we find the opposite to be true. Our paper suggests that age should carry less weight in admission decisions and that countries and/or higher education institutions should carefully consider how their admission system affects student incentives and how applicants are selected.

Per Capita

The expansion of education all over the world is expected to improve economic and social development. However, the oversupply of educated labor force might bring unfavorable consequences for the labor market and long-run growth prospects. In this regard the purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, it aims at summarizing the main channels and mechanisms through which education–job mismatch could impact the changes of per capita income. Second, the study presents empirical evidence on that impact by differentiating between qualification mismatch among workers having completed tertiary education and those with upper secondary education. The sample comprises the EU member countries between 2000 and 2019. The results suggest that whereas the higher percentage of the properly matched labor force increases the steady-state level of per capita output for both educational levels being considered, the effect of qualification mismatch is either negative or insignificant. There is some evidence that overeducation among higher education graduates exhibits a stronger negative effect on economic activity in comparison with overeducation among workers with upper secondary education.
