| Abstract: This project aims to characterize the student population aged 40 to 64 and the population aged 65 and over at the Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED). The analysis is based on institutional data from the Decision Support and Institutional Management Information System (SIATDGI), considering first-time enrollment, regular enrollment, and graduation processes during the 2022–2024 period.
The study follows a descriptive and exploratory approach that allows the identification of sociodemographic, territorial, and academic characteristics of this student population. The results will contribute to a better understanding of the educational trajectories of adult and older students and will support institutional planning and decision-making processes aimed at strengthening educational inclusion in distance higher education |
