For statistics fans: what happened in 2017 – did EKA Open Academy explode?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Number of continuing education students and courses at EKA (2013–2017)
|
|
|
|
|
The Open Academy started its 20th year of activities this autumn and, as a good sign, saw a surge in the continuing education trainings. Last year, EKA offered 130 continuing education courses for 1,651 students, that’s 1,046 students and 61 courses more than in 2016. The biggest number of students were interested in design, fine arts and art history. There’s a noteworthy growth in the number of children, prospective EKA students and art and design professionals (often EKA graduates themselves) undertaking continuing education training.
Thank you all who have contributed to the Open Academy and inspiration to all Open Academy students!
