Student drop-outs cause university ranking fears
Article Abstract:
Student drop-outs cause university ranking fears in Australia. The government is implying that universities may be penalized financially unless they improve performance. The rate at which students complete doctoral degrees has irritated the research sector. Fewer than half the doctoral students enrolled in the early 1990s completed degrees in 5 years, with science degree candidates doing better than others. Controversy has arisen over the validity of figures on dropouts and resulting efficiency data.
