After University to Vocational School

Since 2013, the university degree is free for everyone in Estonia. Now there is a new trend in Estonia to enter into a vocational school after the university degree; and/or after one vocational education in to another vocational school. The aim of this research is to analyze the background of the fact that many adults in Estonia with vocational education (36%) or higher education (20%) have started acquiring vocational education alongside adults without any professional education (44%). The subjects/respondents of this research were people who decided to influence the quality of their life through education. The object of the research were shcolars’ opinions about the type of education. The research question: which background impulses influence the choice of educational institution?  The methodology of this research was qualitative (based on the small sample of respondents); the research method was a content analysis of scholars opinions, and of the case study.
