@adey, you understand my reaction as being defensive from the post above :S.... don't be too sensitive.
And it's not a government survey, if you read the first paragraph, it says the survey was conducted by the Rand-Qatar Policy Institute
It's an institute which is part of the QF umbrella only.
To reiterate though, I simply wanted to know how many people were surveyed. Was it 100 people and then 60 out of them didn't want to go into further education? Did they survey a wide range of Qataris or a certain area/class? I'm interested because I actively assist the Ministry of Education now and then.
Statistical sampling is fine when they have the correct spread and sample enough.
@genesis, do you mean to say that we had more graduates in 2000 than now? Despite having more Universities and Institutes?
