Education authorities plan to cut enrollment at universities and graduate institutes by about 35 percent over the next decade due to a shrinking population caused by a low birth rate.
Enrollment targets in undergraduate and doctoral programs are looking at 40 percent cuts, the Ministry of Education said at a recent conference of university presidents.
The nation only saw 1.06 births per woman in 2013 and experts say a rate of 2.1 births per woman is necessary to prevent the population from shrinking.
