Oktatási mélyfúrások: Különböző fenntartású középiskolák profilja 11. osztályos tanulóik jellemzői alapján

The choice of a secondary school is influenced by several factors, for example the profil of the institution. In previous researches children with better family backgrounds prefer the „unique” (classes with an increased number of lessons, bilingual training or schools with non-state maintainer) institutions (Hegedűs, 2016; Garami, 2020). In our paper, we analyse the database called „Learning and teaching German in Hajdú-Bihar and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg counties (2018–2019)”, with data of 890 students, who learned German and/or English in the 11th grade of secondary grammar or technical school in this school year. From this database, we examine the data of eight institutions of four maintainers (466 students) in SPSS program with crosstabs- and ANOVA-analysis with the following variables: maintainer of the secondary school, family background of the students and characters of secondary school choice. According to our results, the secondary school choice and learning foreign languages can characterised with consideration for practicum, further learning’s plan and the usefulness on the labour market. The students chose the analysed institutions mostly because of the high level of the teaching, the simplicity of all-days going to town and the simple higher educational admission.
