Abstract

Ovaj rad prikazuje različite aspekte visokog obrazovanja mladih iz alternativne skrbi. Naime, ovoj temi veliki broj stručnjaka ne pridaje značaj zbog jako male koncentracije spomenute rizične skupine među školskom populacijom. Boljem razumijevanju ove teme pridonosi cjelokupan kontekst u kojem se nalaze mladi iz skrbi zbog čega se u radu objašnjavaju Teorija životnog puta i raznolikost životnih puteva kojim mogu poći mladi nakon izlaska iz skrbi. Zasigurno i sam izlazak iz skrbi predstavlja veliki izazov za ove mlade, međutim postoje i oni koji ga uspješno savladaju i pohađaju visokoškolsko obrazovanje. Bitni čimbenici ovakvog ishoda su motivacija, percepcija mladih o relevantnosti obrazovanja te pomoć i podrška mladima od strane stručnjaka iz alternativne skrbi. Također, postoje i različite prepreke s kojima se suočavaju mladi iz alternativne skrbi tijekom studiranja: nefleksibilan obrazovni sustav, ne prepoznavanje mladih iz skrbi kao rizične skupine, nedostatak osnovnih vještina, stručnjaci koji ne pridaju veliku važnost obrazovanju pa ga zbog toga ne potiču, stigmatizacija zbog podrijetla i još mnoge druge. Slijedom svega navedenog kako bi se mladima iz alternativne skrbi olakšalo studiranje potrebna je veća pozornost stručnjaka, istraživanja koja će preciznije opisati njihovu situaciju te na kraju veća podrška i pomoć od strane stručnjaka.

Abstract (english)

This paper presents the higher education experiences of young people who left alternative care. Given that, a large number of experts do not give a lot of importance to this topic due to the very low concentration of the mentioned risk group among the school population. The overall context in which young people from care sometimes find themselves contributes to a better understanding of this topic. That is why this paper explains and focuses on the Life Path Theory and the variety of life paths that young people can take after leaving care. Getting out of care is, without a doubt, a big challenge for these young people, but some successfully overcome it and do attend higher education. Important factors in this outcome are motivation, young people's perception of the relevance of education, and help and support from experts in alternative care. There are also various obstacles that young people from alternative care face during their studies: inflexible education system, failure to recognize them as a risk group, lack of basic skills, experts who do not attach great importance to education and therefore do not encourage it, stigmatization due to origin and many others. Following all of the above, in order to make it easier for young people from alternative care to study, greater attention from experts is needed, research that will more precisely describe their situation, and finally greater support and help from experts.
