| Abstract [eng] |
The non-formal adult (25-64 year olds) education in public and private teaching sectors on the basis of social and human capital, including both learners’ and non-formal education organizers’ situation is analyzed in this dissertational research. The specific purpose of this dissertation is seen through the reality that non-formal adult education is more oriented towards the expectations of employers for their employees’ better qualification(s) while placing the possibilities for personal growth and self-expression aside (i.e. escaping from human capital and putting the social capital into the first place). Also, the manifestations of social stratification in these processes are captured as well, by stressing such aspects as: the education of adult learners, the age factor and the sectors where adults work. While implementing the dissertational research, main statements to be defended were explored and confirmed as well: i) human capital remains more oriented towards social capital accumulation in the public and private sectors of non-formal adult education; ii) the differences between non-formal adult education public and private teaching sectors are rather slight. |
