Record number start in higher education
Published
A record number of people have started in higher education. The news is published by SHIFTER, and it shows that interest in university and college studies remains high in Norway.
Many young people begin studies right after upper secondary school. There are also adults taking new education, for example to get a new job or to develop in their profession. Higher education therefore becomes important for many different groups in society.
The source does not state how many new students are involved, nor which fields of study are most popular. Therefore, it is difficult to say precisely how large the increase is and what has caused it.
An increase in the number of students may have consequences for universities and colleges. The institutions must ensure enough teaching, teachers, study places and classrooms. At the same time, more graduates with higher education may affect the labour market in the years to come.
The development will be followed further. New figures from the authorities and the educational institutions may provide more information about who is studying and which courses are most popular.
