Currently, many schools announce that the rate of students having jobs after 1 year of graduation ranges from 85-95%, even in many fields and schools this rate is up to 100%. However, this number is usually only based on the number of students responding to the survey, not the total number of graduates. According to the opinions of National Assembly delegates, this data has created a significant error in the overall picture of students' employment after graduation.

Statistics from universities are not really reliable

Talking to reporters from Vietnam Education Electronic Magazine, National Assembly Delegate Trinh Thi Tu Anh (Lam Dong Provincial National Assembly Delegation) said that, in general, data published by higher education institutions on The rate of students having jobs after 1 year of graduation is over 90% or even 100%, which does not fully and accurately reflect reality.

According to the female delegate, currently, most universities only rely on survey results from responding students, which usually accounts for about 50-70% of the total number of graduates. This can create a biased picture, because students who do not have a stable job or work in the wrong field tend not to participate in the survey. As a result, published data find it difficult to accurately and comprehensively reflect the employment situation of students after graduation, affecting the reliability of the information provided by schools.

Although these numbers are used as a basis to build enrollment targets for the following years, in order to link education with social needs, the evaluation method must ensure objectivity and comprehensiveness. more present. Dependence on incomplete and inaccurate data can lead to enrollment exceeding actual needs, wasting training resources, and reducing effectiveness in meeting student requirements. labor market.

In addition, National Assembly Member Trinh Thi Tu Anh commented that requiring schools to announce the percentage of graduates with “jobs appropriate to their training level” as drafted is a necessary step to improve the quality of education and meet society's expectations. However, National Assembly Delegate Tu Anh emphasized that to ensure transparency and accuracy, it is necessary to specify the concepts of “having a job” and “jobs consistent with training level”.

Accordingly, “having a job” should be understood as a job with an official contract or self-employment with a stable income, lasting at least 6 months within 12 months after graduation. At the same time, “jobs appropriate to training level” should be defined as jobs that use learned knowledge and skills, requiring degrees or qualifications corresponding to the training major.

Schools can classify the level of suitability according to the following criteria: completely suitable (directly related to the major), partially suitable (related but not requiring complete specialized knowledge) and not suitable. This helps reflect the true situation and accurately orient training programs.

Sharing the same opinion on this issue, National Assembly Delegate Nguyen Thi Viet Nga (Hai Duong Provincial National Assembly Delegation) commented that the statistics on the rate of graduates having jobs after 1 year of graduation published by higher education institutions is not really reliable for a number of main reasons such as:

The first, Figures such as 80%, 90% or even 100% of graduates having jobs are often only given in general terms, lacking detailed information about how, who participates and when the survey is conducted. close.

Monday, The concept of “having a job” is also not clearly defined. Is the job here in your field of study or simply any job? In fact, many students who work outside their major or part-time after graduating can still be counted in this rate.

With incomplete and unclear information, these data do not show the training reputation of the school, nor do they reflect the true quality of training or the level of compatibility between the field of study and the labor market. dynamic.

Therefore, according to Ms. Nga, before focusing on statistics on the rate of graduates having jobs after 1 year of graduation, higher education institutions should prioritize improving training quality and closely follow the needs of students. labor market demand. Actual statistics are not a difficult task, especially in the current context when we have been implementing a national database and promoting digitalization in all fields.

With shared data systems and modern tools, communicating with students and collecting accurate information is completely feasible. Because in today's technological age, conducting a transparent and accurate survey is essential to ensuring the quality and reputation of higher education.

According to Mr. Le Nhu Tien – former Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Culture, Education, Youth, Adolescents and Children (now the Committee for Culture and Education) of the National Assembly, there are currently two problems. topic that needs attention.

First of all, accuracy and transparency in the student employment rate data announced by schools are extremely important factors. To be able to properly evaluate the success of a training program, these data need to be collected from a complete and objective database. However, today there are still schools that announce the rate of students having jobs without transparency in the way they collect information and without independent verification.

At the same time, assessing whether the job is really suitable for the training major or not is another issue. It is necessary to clearly distinguish between jobs that are stable, have reasonable income and are suitable for training majors, and jobs that are in the wrong field, job, or part-time.

Consider assigning an independent unit to conduct the survey

Therefore, Mr. Le Nhu Tien said that if schools only let schools do their own statistics, establish their own methods and self-report without supervision, the statistical results will not ensure objectivity. Therefore, statistics on the number of students with jobs after 1 year of graduation should be assigned to an independent organization to ensure transparency and accuracy.

“In cases where it is not possible to assign this task to an independent unit to survey, higher education institutions need to carry out and clearly announce the quality of students after graduation as well as the student birth rate. Students have jobs after 1 year of graduation. This not only ensures transparency but also helps propose solutions to improve training quality and strengthen the connection between the curriculum and the needs of the labor market.

At the same time, universities must be responsible for providing accurate and transparent information about students' employment situations. Maybe schools will tend to make the data more attractive, but only with independent supervision and inspection from competent authorities can we have an accurate and comprehensive view of the data. the current employment situation of students”, Mr. Le Nhu Tien said.

In addition, according to National Assembly Representative Trinh Thi Tu Anh, assigning an independent unit to conduct a survey on the rate of students having jobs after one year of graduation is completely reasonable. This helps minimize conflicts of interest because universities may tend to publish high rates to attract candidates, an independent survey unit can ensure objectivity and honesty in recruiting candidates. collect and analyze data.

This unit can set clear standards during the survey process, helping to create trust for candidates and parents when choosing a major, while also accurately reflecting the employment situation of students, thereby make accurate decisions about enrollment and develop training programs in accordance with labor market needs.

At the same time, Ms. Trinh Thi Tu Anh said that in order to collect data from students, it meets the requirements of Circular 09/2024/TT-BGDDT regulating publicity in the operations of educational institutions in the education system. National education, universities can apply some of the following solutions:

The first, Universities should build dedicated survey platforms. An online survey platform with integrated database will help students easily update their employment status and suitability for their major. Linking to student accounts or using identifiers ensures accuracy and encourages students to fully engage in feedback.

Monday, Schools may consider partnering with a third party to verify data more objectively and transparently. Signing with labor survey organizations or recruitment businesses will help verify the actual employment status of students, ensuring that statistics reflect the true situation.

In addition, it is possible to deploy an automatic system to connect and update student employment information through online employment platforms or alumni management applications. This approach not only minimizes the burden on human resources but also provides a source of data that is continuously updated, accurate and easy to analyze.

Tuesday, Universities need to conduct surveys in each period to have a more comprehensive view of the employment status of students after graduation. Instead of only conducting surveys once a year, schools should organize periodic surveys after 3 months, 6 months and 12 months to monitor the stability and career development of students. Long-term monitoring not only helps identify labor market trends but also provides valuable data on the degree of fit between training programs and actual needs.

With this detailed and objective approach, higher education institutions will be able to accurately report suitable employment rates and at the same time support students with better career orientation after graduation.

In addition, Ms. Trinh Thi Tu Anh commented that, currently, the lack of a unified standard for survey samples, calculation methods and classification criteria makes each school choose its own calculation method, easily leading to discrepancies. Large discrepancies in published employment rates make it difficult to accurately compare and evaluate schools. At the same time, this lack of standards not only affects transparency but also reduces the reliability of the information schools provide to candidates and parents.

Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Training should issue more specific regulations and instructions on the method of calculating the rate of students having jobs after graduation. This will help ensure consistency and transparency in the survey process, thereby providing accurate information about students' employment status after 1 year of graduation, creating a reliable database for candidates. students, parents and policy makers.
