CONSIDERATIONS ON THE IMPACT OF HIGHER EDUCATION FROM AN ECONOMIC AND NON-ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE

The economic advantages of higher education are complemented by non-economic advantages such as: increased manifestation of civic spirit, increased care and better health, a decrease in crime etc. among the population with higher education. This article aims to highlight some of the economic and non-economic benefits, individual or collective, of higher education, starting on the one hand from information in the literature and on the other hand from official statistical information, using EU statistical information

It has led many companies to resort to working from home. The pandemic also forced many educational institutions around the world and from the Republic of Serbia to adapt to the new reality by actively implementing electronic teaching.

In the article, Wilcoxon signed rank test was conducted on the grades of a selected sample of 100 students from a higher public school of economics from Serbia in order to determine the size and statistical significance of the difference between median samples, before and after the transition to electronic learning. The results of the analysis showed that the transition to electronic teaching most likely improved the quality of educational processes and results in Serbia, indicating a statistically significant difference between the sample medians. Despite the described limitations of the study, it is possible that this type of teaching has improved the quality, inclusiveness and resilience of educational processes in the country
