Findings suggest they held strong views on higher education. For some, the conventional roles of university were still, pertinent. However, opting out university or dropping out as a choice were unanticipated findings. This research tentatively suggests that – at least in Romania – higher education in general and technical universities in particular, may fail some young people who are innovative and highly able. The paper communicates to the international literature on university dropout by signaling that the conventional view framed by a sense of failure or social disadvantage, may not always hold. It argues that the social inclusion focus of the 'widening agenda' cannot entirely account for some recent transformations in young people's sense of self and their personal notions of achievement. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
