- Abstract
This paper examines the evolution of higher/tertiary educational attainment in 5 countries from Central and Eastern Europe, namely Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, during their post-communist transition. Using statistical data provided by the Barro Lee Dataset, we performed a comparative analysis of this indicator on a 30-year time series and both on the general population between 25-64 and on subcategories determined by the gender and age group variables. The data shows an overall improvement in human capital, which comes with positive socio-economic consequences; however, there was no homogeneous evolution, and each country developed at its own pace. Significant disparities persist compared to the European average, and several countries included in the comparison lag behind European targets
