Dominican universities are faced with an unfortunate reality: graduates in many fields are not finding jobs. As a result, according to the article in today's El Caribe, universities need to look at the courses on offer. The latest statistics from the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology say that recent graduating classes have provided 13,407 graduates in Social Sciences, 12,270 in Philosophy and Humanities, 4,464 in basic science and technology, and just 3,937 in engineering fields. Health sciences graduated just 2,605, agricultural graduates numbered only 299 and applied science only 228. The same set of statistics reveals a similar distribution in current students: 126,000 in Social Sciences (including law, accounting, business administration and marketing), 82,000 in humanities and philosophy (including education); engineering and technologies with 69,000 and health sciences with 40,000.
