Positional educational advantages account for the declining exclusiveness of higher education degrees in the course of educational expansion, which is accompanied by occupational upgrading. The empirical results indicate that the decreasing positional educational advantages affect higher education degrees differently than lower educational levels. Graduates from higher education enhance their advantage over degree holders below higher education with regard to socioeconomic status. Thereby, university degrees in particular gain in importance.","PeriodicalId":44727,"journal":{"name":"European Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83415295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a cross-sectional survey to gain a foundational understanding and basic description of the central phenomenon. Our findings demonstrate that “Bolashak” scholarship recipients seem generally satisfied with the overall level of support provided, however, they seem to feel better supported by the host institutions than the scholarship administering agency. We employed a combination of three theories—Principal–Agent Theory, Institutional Isomorphism Theory, and the Theory of Institutional Dynamics in Interorganizational Collaboration, which help to explain our findings. Study findings suggest several areas of improvement for institutional emergency response and sponsored students.","PeriodicalId":44727,"journal":{"name":"European Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74978851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seventy-four percent of fathers and 83% of mothers were holders of university degrees and they had the economic means to invest in more and better PT for their children. Thus, PT has the potential to be a force for reducing equity, and so effective policies to regulate PT should be adopted.","PeriodicalId":44727,"journal":{"name":"European Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82195834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results gained from the thematic analysis of 53 semi-structured interviews show that students’ conceptualizations of intercultural competence validate theoretical frameworks and definitions.
