A matter of discourse

• An Economic Discourse

Higher Education: Economic Growth

Teaching: Manpower for Job-Market Research: “Productivity”

• Individuals receive education for the Nation• Human Beings turned Human Resources

• Worried about manpower demand and supply

A matter of discourse

• An Engineering Discourse

• Planning for manpower requirements• Targeting at perfect study-work match• Outcome-based curriculum and teaching

In industrial societies,

• Human beings are classified and ranked• They are to match the labour market

• The matching is achieved through signals• Credentials provides the market signals

• Education produces credentials

Is the workplace still the same?

Work-Study Match

Are people’s Jobspertinent to

their Credentials?

Typical Example of Graduates Mismatch

• Medicine: 1% • Law: 15-20%• Engineering: 35%• Arts & Social Sciences Basic mismatch

Job & Career Changes

• UK (City and Guild, 2006): – 13 jobs/life

• US (DOL) – 10.6 jobs/life (2006)– 4.3 occupations/life (2002)

Hence,

Is Higher Education ableto prepare people

Points to Ponder

• Curriculum should go far beyond academic and professional competence– There should be enough room for the development of

other things such as moral leadership, sensitivity to societal, national and global issues

• Provides opportunity for diverse learning experiences– Liberal arts : trivium (grammar, logic, rethoric);

quadrivium (geometry, arithmetic, music, astronomy)– Service/Engaged learning: experential learning
