“For low-quality on every third YH-education”
“One-third of the courses in the polytechnic which was reviewed during last year was of low quality. But it is rare that a POLYTECHNIC education has so big flaws to put down.”
“the Polytechnic had in the last year, over 50 000 students, spread over almost 1 500 training courses to in-demand occupations.”
“But the quality of the courses varies. Of the sample of 79 courses kvalitetsgranskades in the last year, two-thirds, 52, of high or very high quality. In contrast, 25 of the courses reviewed. ”
“Responsible for the training of inadequate quality has the potential to make improvements within a reasonable period of time, writes the Agency for higher vocational education (MYH) in their report for the year 2018.”
“– You can say that it is a form of approval, but with the assignment. It is also important to say that follow-ups are made, says the agency’s press contact Johan Lindahl.”
“However, it is more doubtful if the educations with the lack of quality will continue in the confidence – it will make the follow-ups show.”
“MYH also has different forms of supervision – planned and after the complaint – to check that the courses meet the requirements of the laws and regulations. During last year took MYH 171 decisions, of which 139 with the criticism. The criticism was in many cases of organizational deficiencies, for example, ambiguity in curriculum and grading criteria. In a handful of cases was the responsible criticism to students at the workplace training has not worked.”
“In really serious cases, it can an education be forced to close down. But it is four years since it happened last.”
“– It is absolutely my image. Most of them are good or very good. A number of training courses can be improved, but we are not concerned about them. We know that they work, ” says Thomas Persson.”
“The next few years, growth of the uas greatly. But it does not compromise the quality, because there is still competition about to start training, according to Thomas.”
” Last year we had over 1,100 applications and of them, were granted 45 percent. And we’ll continue to pick out the best. An important factor is whether the work has been taken forward application and would like to recruit the students when they are ready, ” he says.”
“the Polytechnic provides tertiary education in close cooperation with companies and other employers.”
“The students combined education with at the workplace courses, learning in the job.”
“The organisers of the courses can be private training companies, municipalities, counties, or colleges. State agencies may also conduct training in the polytechnic.”
“the Uas training including prospective anläggningsingenjörer, construction manager, dataspelsutvecklare, gardener, företagssäljare, travel consultants are, specialistundersköterskor, teaching assistants and flight engineer.”
“most of The training is two years long.”
“the Uas is growing. In 2017, it had just over 50 000 students. Ten years earlier the number was less than 34 000.”
“Of them that left the YH 2017 was 93 per cent work in the following year. Most got a job fairly immediately after the training.”
“Nine out of ten are satisfied with their education.”
