I see people are immediately trying to downvote this.
One wonders why.
I think its important to be concsious of the potential for this information to be skewed by differing educational systems. For example, some countries consider areas such as nursing, vet technicians, low level engineering and technical fields as specialised secondary schools which would fall outside of the tertiary system.
Another aspect is that IMO many countries such as Ireland equate high levels of people in higher education with a successful system even if the quality of courses and level of improving the persons prospects are lacking.
This isn’t necessarily good or bad. In general it’s a good signifier of prosperity that majority of population pursue tertiary education but then again there’s a certain critical mass it hits where the marginal returns on this likely diminish to point of being negative.
We all know people who pursued absolutely pointless degrees that were of zero utility to them & just delayed their entry & experience into the workforce in a sector they actually enjoyed.
On of that 65% how many drop out of an arts degree? Asking for.. a mate
Ireland never had much in the way of natural resources, and we aren’t in a great position for heavy manufacturing, so the only way for the country to start making decent money was by educating people. And whatever your feelings about the education system we’ve done pretty well with that strategy for the last few decades. I’d imagine Luxembourg would be similar.
It’s odd the fixation people have with certain statistics in this country and the wrong conclusions they draw from them. Because of a fixation we have with university we have a gross oversupply of graduates many with poor/second rate degrees and a shortage of skilled labour. This gap is filled by immigration and (drum roll) housing shortages driven by a skills gap amongst other things.
