The ministry of high education announced in Egypt that they will reduce the number of the accepted students to the applied science colleges.
The deep insight in these news would should a real mis-planning and mis-management of the resources.
This decision would mean the unnecessary increase of the human sciences.
The government announced that they will reduce the number of the graduates in medicine, engineering, science, economics, politics.
Consequently the number will increase in commerce, law, art, literature.
This is totally ridiculous for a developing country where it needs to turn the people to productive sectors.
Firstly the proportion of all these vital sectors to the population is below the targets.
Secondly we are not really in luxury status to afford hundreds and thousands of literature students, artists, and lawyers. We need to focus more on the productive sectors.
They said the target number of the doctors would be 700.
Simple math would show that if you will fairly split this number to the dozens of medicine specialties and to the number of the annual incremental population to the existing shortage you will find definitely that we need much much more.
Same simple math is applicable for the engineering and considering the huge amount of its specialties.
For example my major was in geophysics. We were five "5" in the department.
Yes it is totally absurd and unbelievable. Geophysics has tens of specialties and all of them are heavily applied in the society. The question is not the the value of having these graduates but the question is do you have really business environment and something you can it a state or it is hub hazard crowd controlled by ignorant people and they are driving them insanely in nowhere.
No wonder that China has university for the earth sciences because of their full awareness about the scale of them and the value of it to boosting the development of the society.
Their mining, quarrying and CBM industry, needs thousands of graduates every year.
