Go n read \"state review\" and u will know the true reasons of the jc merger.
So the govt is planning to restrict 30% of every cohort to go local Uni?
No wonder 8 JCs affected but currently no plan for Poly to be merged. -

Actually, the govt plan to have up to 40% of each cohort to be graduates. At the moment, it's around 30% even with the increases over the past couple of decades. In any case, if the range of jobs remains about the same (we will always need a mix of different types of jobs), even if 80% are graduates, it will just mean that many graduates will be doing what used to be non-graduate jobs. If students are going to get degrees just because they want to study a few more years out of interest, that's a good thing; but if all graduates expect to get what used to be \"graduate\" jobs (ie. top 20%), many will be disappointed.BBG:

It actually depends on the type of jobs available in the job market. -

It will just simply encourage more mid tier students to go overseas for their further education.

Our govt doesn't want to have too many underemployed grads.

Can go for SIM etc. Actually, not just fighting for local Uni competitive, the work force is likely to be just as (or even more) competitive, for various reasons like technological advances, FT etc. FT will always be part of our landscape. -

can't think too much at this point in time. we got married in 1999. hubby and i didn't want to delay starting a family because we were worried about my congenital hypothyroidism would hinder baby plans...so my first one came in 2000. it was crazy when he had to register for P1...had to do 60 hours of PV.
