Currently, many schools announce that the rate of students having jobs after 1 year of graduation ranges from 85-95%, some schools even reach up to 100%. However, this rate is usually only based on the number of students responding to the survey, not the total number of graduates. Therefore, this data does not fully reflect the employment situation of all students in a course.

Many universities' statistics are not close to reality

Talking to reporters from Vietnam Education Electronic Magazine, Associate Professor, Dr. Do Van Dung – former Principal of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, commented that the rate of students having jobs is as follows: 1 year of graduation is usually based on the number of students answering the survey. This leads to the risk of inadequate data representation for the entire graduate course. In many cases, students who do not have a job or work in the wrong field are often afraid to respond due to the psychology of avoiding pressure, causing the data to lack comprehensiveness.

Point b, Clause 1, Article 7, Circular 36/2017/TT-BGDDT promulgating regulations on public implementation for educational and training institutions under the national education system requires public educational institutions Declare the rate of students having jobs after 1 year of graduation (including the number of graduates with jobs and the number of graduates undergoing advanced study according to form 18).

However, according to Mr. Dung, when implementing Circular 36, many schools only announced the rate of students having jobs but did not specify the type of job, leading to a situation where the data did not reflect the reality as comprehensively as it actually is. international. Because the concept of “having a job” can be understood in a broad sense, including temporary jobs or jobs unrelated to the field of study.

“For students and parents, this data is often one of the important bases when choosing a school and major, so inaccuracy can create unnecessary misunderstandings. Because in simple terms, the higher the rate, the more jobs there are for graduates. However, if the majority of people with jobs are not related to their major, this data does not accurately reflect the quality of training and career opportunities.

In addition, data on the employment rate of students is also a criterion that the Ministry of Education and Training uses to approve enrollment targets for universities. If the approval of quotas is not based on accurate data, it will cause enrollment to be unbalanced, which can lead to a surplus of human resources in some sectors and a shortage of human resources in other sectors. In the long term, this also affects the labor market by not providing enough human resources to meet demand, leading to imbalance and waste of training resources”, Associate Professor, Dr. Do Van Dung state an opinion.

Discussing this issue, Dr. Sai Cong Hong – former Deputy Director of the Department of Secondary Education (Ministry of Education and Training) commented that statistics on the rate of students having jobs after 1 year of graduation is an important factor. indicators to evaluate the quality and training effectiveness of higher education institutions. However, the approach to calculating the rate of students having jobs after graduation still has many shortcomings, leading to an impact on the reliability of statistical data.

According to Dr. Sai Cong Hong, one of the difficulties in calculating the rate of students having jobs after graduation is that the definition of “employed” is not clear enough to have reliability and validity of the number. statistical data. This concept can cover many cases: having a job in the right major, temporary job, doing a job unrelated to the major. Many graduates, even though they have a job, do not do it right. Professionals are trained at higher education institutions, leading to this ratio not really reflecting the quality of education of the field being trained.

Currently, schools often use many different voluntary survey methods, leading to a lack of uniformity in the statistical data obtained. Some graduate students were able to respond, while some other students did not respond, making the data insufficient to cover the entire course. Furthermore, many students often change their contact addresses or do not want to share personal information after graduating, making tracking difficult. This leads to a low response rate, and the statistical data obtained does not closely reflect the actual data of graduates.

In addition, the results of statistics on the rate of students having jobs after 1 year of graduation are also the basis for evaluating and ranking schools, which creates great pressure on higher education institutions. On the other hand, if the public data is not really accurate and comprehensive, it can lead to unrealistic expectations from students and parents.

Strengthen cooperation with businesses to collect multidimensional data

Point c, Clause 2, Article 13, Circular 09/2024/TT-BGDDT Regulations on publicity in the operations of educational institutions under the national education system take effect from July 19 2024, replacing Circular No. 36/2017/TT-BGDĐT requiring educational institutions to publicize: “The proportion of university graduates with jobs suitable to their needs.” training level within 12 months after graduation.

Compared to Circular 36, Circular 09 has more specific requirements on the rate of graduates having jobs consistent with their training level. However, higher education institutions still have difficulty in calculating accurate statistics.

To solve the inadequacies in statistics on the rate of students having jobs after 1 year of graduation at universities, Associate Professor, Dr. Do Van Dung proposed 3 solutions.

First, the Ministry of Education and Training should require universities to make detailed statistics and publish the percentage of students with jobs in their major, distinguishing them from jobs outside their major or temporary jobs. This will help provide clear, objective information for students and parents to understand.

Second, higher education institutions can consider expanding survey methods to increase the representativeness of the data. For example, you should use diverse communication channels such as email, phone, social networks, or you can offer ways to encourage student feedback to ensure good data collection from the entire student course. industry, increasing the accuracy and comprehensiveness of statistics.

Third, universities should promote closer cooperation with businesses to collect information about students' employment status. When having strong relationships with businesses, higher education institutions not only understand the number of students recruited but can also evaluate the suitability of the job for the field of study. Data from businesses will supplement and compare with information from students, creating a more comprehensive view of the labor market and students' career trends.

“Improving the quality and reliability of data on the rate of students having jobs after 1 year of graduation is essential to building a good educational environment. The above solutions not only help parents and students have a more accurate view of career opportunities but also help the Ministry of Education and Training in developing appropriate admission policies.

One of the factors that universities need to improve is a clear and accurate data collection and publication system, and close coordination with businesses to create generations of quality students. quality, meeting the needs of the future labor market,” Mr. Dung expressed.

Sharing the same opinion as above, Dr. Sai Cong Hong said that in order to be able to more accurately reflect the quality and effectiveness from statistical data on the rate of students having jobs after graduation, there needs to be a definition framework. clear and multi-dimensional concept of “having a job”. Different forms of employment should be classified as jobs in the right field of training, jobs in the right job description related to the field being trained, jobs that use part of the knowledge and skills of the field being trained. , temporary employment… This helps ensure that the data collected will reflect the true situation of students' adaptability and career choices in a more comprehensive way.

“In addition, to support graduates in finding suitable jobs, schools need to strengthen cooperation with businesses. Building internship programs, training cooperation and career orientation support will help students have more opportunities to accumulate practical experience and enhance their career skills. At the same time, schools can establish an alumni network to support new graduates, creating a sustainable bridge between the school and the labor market,” said former Deputy Director of the Department of Secondary Education ( Ministry of Education and Training) expressed.

Meanwhile, according to Professor, Dr. Tran Van Nam – former Director of Da Nang University, to help make statistical data on the rate of students having jobs after 1 year of graduation general and comprehensive, management agencies Educational administrators can apply a number of measures to improve statistical processes to increase transparency and objectivity in reporting student employment rates.

Specifically, universities need to establish specific and unified regulations on standards for calculating the rate of students having jobs after 1 year of graduation, including requirements for the minimum response rate. . Education authorities could provide detailed guidance on calculating rates, including requiring schools to clearly report the number of graduates, the number of students responding, and the response rate. . This is a measure that can avoid the situation where schools publish high rates but are not based on a large enough representative sample and do not reflect reality.

In addition, schools can be encouraged to use technology tools to track students' employment status after graduation. With the development of current technology, schools can set up tracking systems through social networking platforms or applications connecting schools and alumni. This not only helps to continuously update student job information but also increases the connection between the school and students.

In addition, to ensure data transparency and reliability, management agencies should conduct periodic or unexpected inspections of schools' data collection methods and processes. Publicizing these test results also contributes to strengthening the accountability of universities and creating trust in society.

“Calculating the rate of students having jobs after one year of graduation is a method to evaluate students' ability to integrate into the labor market. However, to ensure accurate and valuable results, this process needs to be carried out scientifically, transparently and consistently to reflect the true situation, helping students and parents have the right view. more about the training quality of educational institutions.

In addition, strengthening career guidance, cooperation with businesses and support for startups will help improve the quality of education and open up better opportunities for students in career development after graduation,” said Nguyen. Director of Danang University expressed.
