m*****5 发帖数: 23482 | 2 In Egypt, where the region's protests are at their most pitched, the ranks
of the college-educated have grown steadily in the past few decades. In 1990
, according to World Bank, 14% of college-age Egyptians were enrolled; in
2008, 28.5% were. Egyptian schools expanded, and a crop of European
universities opened campuses there. The Egyptian government doubled the
funding for higher education in its 2007 five-year plan and sought
international advice on revamping the system.
But a 300-page examination of higher education in Egypt by the World Bank
and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, published last
year, noted "a chronic oversupply of university graduates, especially in the
humanities and social sciences," mixed with complaints from business
employers that they couldn't find workers with the skills they needed. |
