TY - JOUR TT - THE RISE OF THE EDUCATIONAL LEVEL OF GREEK MOTHERS AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE ORIENTATION OF TECHNICAL COLLEGE STUDENTS AU - Athanassıadıs, Elias AU - Xanthacou, Yota AU - Tatlıdıl, Rezan PY - 2005 DA - May JF - Ege Academic Review JO - eab PB - Ege Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 1303-099X SP - 19 EP - 27 VL - 5 IS - 1 N2 - The National Greek Statistical Service publishes data covering all educational levels. Many such data pertain to the social provenance of higher education students. One of the most interesting aspects is the parents’ educational level which, in addition to a university student’s choices, plays a very important role in the attainment of the student’s goals. Our interest focuses on the difference in the educational level between the two parents of Technical College (T.E.I.) students during a series of academic years with the intent to demonstrate that, although the fathers’ educational level is generally higher than that of the mothers’, the latter has shown a significant rise during a fifteen year period (1984/1985-1999/2000). Our findings reveal that the proportion of mothers of T.E.I. students with an educational level higher than high school is increasing, while, at the same time, the number of mothers of the aforesaid students with an elementary school educational level is decreasing.
