The government has tightened rules on universities and continues to axe underperforming schools in light of graduates' unemployment, student enrollment and number of faculty members. The college restructuring committee has come up with a package of measures to raise competitiveness in higher education amid the trend that student enrollment continues to decrease due to a lower birth rate.


What does this mean for us?

I am interpreting it as meaning there could be less university jobs available for Westerners. Am I wrong on that?

Reading posts like this is like watching those metal pendulum balls lined up hitting one another like dominoes but they go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth...

If you make colleges more competitive then you will create a need to be more prepared. They cut high school classes, but now this makes an open spot for teachers.

I think we are looking too close to the trees. This is a tug-o-war between government figures. One day, we are dropped here, and on another day we are dropped there.

Publicly funded / government universities/schools.

If you are at a private uni, no worry.
If you hold post grad qualifications = no worry.

If you have an unrelated BA = start to worry.

Fewer University positions for Westerners with only an unrelated BA.
