Parliamentary and public calls have intensified for the re-evaluation of higher education outputs amid a steady increase in graduate numbers against a scarcity of job opportunities. Stakeholders emphasized the importance of developing modern strategies to introduce specializations that align with global technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence and telecommunications.
