The report addresses three major
concerns of policy makers in Karnataka, on which there is
little prior information, or research, namely whether the
expansion in student places at the secondary, and higher
secondary levels, is justified on economic grounds; how do
secondary school drop-outs from disadvantaged, or poor
backgrounds perform in the labor market, and in continuing
into higher education: is it worse than students from more
advantaged backgrounds?; and, is vocational training a
desirable alternative to general higher education, in terms
of improving labor market performance? State specific data
on employment, unemployment, and earnings is used form the
National Sample Survey 1993/94, and from a tracer study
conducted in 2001. This study provides more recent data on
the labor market performance of new entrants with secondary
education, and the patterns of transition into higher
education: the transition rate is very high - some two
thirds of lower secondary students, and 87 percent of higher
secondary students, continued further studies. Nonetheless,
an analysis of the growth in aggregate employment, shows
that employment in the "organized" sector (mostly
recruiting educated workers) has been slow, mainly because
of the slowdown in public sector recruitment. If these
trends continue, and are not counterbalanced by more rapid
growth in employment of educated workers in the
"unorganized" sector, further expansion of
secondary education is likely to lead to an increase in the
level of unemployment among the educated youth. Findings
reveal however, that expansion of vocational training as
currently configured in Karnataka, is not desirable, since
it is not responsive to the changing labor market, and the
State should explore new approaches to upgrading skills in
both secondary, and elementary education. |
