The paper examines and tries to establish the ranking of the criteria that determine the selection of a higher educational institute' department by the prospect students in Greece. The methodology applied in order to satisfy the research aim is the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The case study concerns two groups of students. One group consists of students of the central Greek technological educational institute situated in Athens and another from peripheral tertiary institution situated in the region of Epirus. The results confirm that the ranking of students' selection criteria is different in two investigating groups. Most students from the central educational institutions seem to be attracted by 'financial factors' with 'family income' being the decisive sub-criterion, while the selection of a peripheral department is more affected by 'personal factors' among which 'life quality' and 'leisure time options' are the most important.

This suggests that better educated parents value education more highly.…”

It finds that attitudes toward education vary across the following characteristics: educational attainment, income, social class, political position, postmaterialist values, religion, sex, age, ethnicity, marital status, number of children, family values and employment status. Countries’ average GDP per capita affects people’s views of education too. Whereas some results are in line with theoretical expectations and previous empirical research, others are surprising.

“…Self-directed learning is defined as learning activity that lasts more driven by their own volition, his own choices and own responsibility of learning. The concept of independence in learning rests on the principle that individuals learn just on learning outcomes, ranking skills, development of reasoning, attitude formation until the discovery himself, when he experienced himself in the process of acquiring the learning outcomes [17]. The ability to monitor their own learning can be raised with the exercises that reflect the awareness of students to meet their needs in learning.…”
