More students in higher education

Just over one third of the country’s 18 to 25-year-olds attended universities or higher education colleges last academic year, the national statistics office CBS said on Monday.


Four years ago, the figure was 29%. Women and youngsters with an ethnic minority background account for the bulk of the increase, the CBS said.
Some 22% of youngsters are vocational college students, a figure which has remained stable over the past four years.
