Education report warns of oversupply of graduates in arts and sciences
The University of Sydney Appointments Board says there is no general shortage of first degree graduates in arts, economics commerce and science in NSW and ACT. Oversupply stems from poor counselling and career misperceptions, with blame shared by guidance services and education authorities. The board calls for closer liaison between counsellors and employers, better counseling for schoolchildren, and more undergraduate training in high-demand fields to prevent graduates from facing limited job prospects. It urges parental involvement and possible more government support to align university output with labour demand.
