Abstract
Abstract Introduction: This article examines the first level of the European higher education system, namely the short-cycle higher education trainings related to the ISCED 5 whose Hungarian characteristics, and its historical changes were described. Methods: We examined participation rates among OECD countries. As there are large differences in the short-cycle higher education trainings in Europe, we have relied on data that makes the different systems comparable. Results and discussion: The interpretation, definition and practical orientation of the trainings varies from country to country, we presented the Hungarian form in connection with the results of international comparative studies and data. To understand the role of trainings, it is essential to get to know their history, especially because short-term higher educational trainings were transformed in several European countries. Conclusions: Prioritising or effacing the social-political role of short-cycle higher education trainings depending on the political orientation of the government and as a part of this, prioritising the disadvantaged regions instead of the disadvantaged students.
Highlights
This article examines the first level of the European higher education system, namely the short-cycle higher education trainings related to the ISCED 5 whose Hungarian characteristics, and its historical changes were described
In the 1960s - mainly in the continental Europe - it could be observed that a special model evolved which has none or little connection with the university sector, it rather focused on the technical graduation for those students who couldn't get into higher education so they were confined to various areas of engineering, teacher training, social work
In the study, we dealt with the first level of the European higher education system, namely the short-cycle higher education trainings related to the ISCED 5 whose Hungarian characteristics, historical changes were described
Summary
This article examines the first level of the European higher education system, namely the short-cycle higher education trainings related to the ISCED 5 whose Hungarian characteristics, and its historical changes were described. The spread of short-term trainings supplies regionalism by the fact that institutions form a network and higher education can be reached by those who did not have the possibility earlier. Welfare (socialist, social-democratic and leftist) governments tried making reforms of higher education This resulted in e.g. the comprehensive college created based on the model of the American community college and later, the extension of the institution network of these colleges (Kozma, 2004). Regional universities are connected tightly with their immediate social environment, and according to the regional studies of the 1960s (mostly in German and French speech areas), they functioned excellently: the supply of higher education trainings was built based on the possibilities of the region and by this, economic and social development could be seen there (Teichler, 2015).
