There are fewer students to give up higher education but the share of graduates unemployed grew. The data released on Tuesday by the Directorate General of Education and Science of Statistics (DGEEC) through Infocursos portal, realize that between 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 the dropout rate of public higher education fell from 12.2 % to 10.3%. In the private increased from 16.3% to 12.6%.
The DGEEC reached these values based on students who entered higher education for the first time in 2012/2013. Since it is possible to follow the path of each individual student, DGEEC went to see what was the situation of these students one year after they began studies in higher. That is, in 2013/2014. In public higher education 79.5% continued to attend the same course, 4.9% had changed their school establishment and 5% changed course, but still in the same entry institution. In private higher education the percentage of those who attended the same course was 76.5%.
The portal Infocursos , launched last year, also allows to assess what the unemployment rate of students who graduated between 2010 and 2013. In December 2014, they were registered in the employment centers 8.6% of the 146 577 students who graduated in public higher education in that period. This rate was 8% in 2013.
A study released recently by DGEEC on students who entered higher in 2011/2012 showed that the means of access have an impact on the probability of a student abandoning studies. “A brutal effect”, as described by the Deputy Director of DGEEC, John the Baptist, the purpose of this range, almost 40% of students entering higher university education averaging 10 points left the studies last one year. This value drops to 6% among those who have 15 points as entry of note.
