Ministry calls for reports on graduate employment

The Ministry of Education has asked all higher educational institutions to release reports on the "qualityofemployment found by graduatesstarting 2014.


Experts urged the introduction of independent reports from a third party and continuoustracking to better reflect the nature of graduate employment.

The ministry said a new record of about 7.27 million college graduates on the Chinesemainland will enter the labor market in 2014.

That number is near the total population of Switzerlandwhich was 8 million in 2013.

Universities and higher vocational institutes should draft and make public annual reports ongraduate employmentincluding trends and feedback for teaching and enrollment planstheministry said on FridayThe plan was announced at a video conference with about 8,000attendants from local educational authoritieshigher educational institutions and humanresource departments.

The annual employment quality report should be a significant reference for universities insetting enrollment plans in the future to better reflect the market demand for skillsthe ministrysaid on its website.

Xiong Bingqideputy director at the 21st Century Education Research Institute in Shanghai,welcomed the changesaying the move from releasing the employment rate of graduates todetailed reports of employment type represents progress.

"Incomplete information disclosure sometimes misleads the media into concluding thatgraduates from higher vocational schools enjoy better employment prospects than those withmaster's degrees simply based on their employment rateswithout considering the difference inpositionsstarting salary and career prospects," he said.

Howeverrequiring universities to make such reports will create opportunities for informationfraudhe said.

"It will be hard to guarantee the credibility of such reports and you cannot expect such falseinformation to provide guidance for teaching and management," he said.

Chen Yudirector of the China Institute for Occupation Research at Peking University,suggested higher educational institutes should include follow-up surveys in their graduateemployment reports.

Currentlyuniversities only record the employment rate for graduates at the end of Junewhenthe school year ends.

Such statistics also fail to reflect the changes college graduates will make after they enter thelabor marketChen saidadding that it would be more scientific and reasonable to do trackingstudies at least six months after the annual graduation.

He predicted tougher employment prospects for college graduates because of the increasednumber of graduates in 2014 and the economic downturn.

Huang Yuanfua senior taking journalism studies at Renmin University of China started huntingfor sales positions in private companies in September.

"It did not go as smoothly as I imaginedMost of my applications went unanswered or I was notshortlisted because I lacked a background in business studies," he said.

The 21-year-old said he has never worried about finding a job after graduationbut he is notsure if he will find a job he likes.

Wang Yujunan official from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Securitywasreported in Chinese media in August as saying about 3 million college graduates failed to findjobs in 2013. That figure included those who graduated the previous year but are still jobless.
