Education in Switzerland

  • Higher earning Why a university degree is worth more in some countries than others

    AFGHANISTAN, 2016/12/11 A university education may expand your mind. It will as well fatten your wallet. Data from the OECD, a club of rich nations, show that graduates can expect far better lifetime earnings than those without a degree. The size of this premium varies. It is greatest in Ireland, which has a high GDP per chief and rising inequality. Since 2000 the unemployment rate for under-35s has swelled to 8% for those with degrees – but to additional than 20% for those without, and nearly 40% for secondary school drop-outs. The country’s wealth presently goes disproportionately to workers with letters next their names.

    SAUDI ARABIA, 2013/07/20 The Glion Institute of Higher Education (GIHE), one of the top three hotel management schools in Switzerland, has seen increased interest from Saudi nationals eager to enrol in its hospitality courses since it was officially recognised by kingdom’s Ministry of Education. “We are honoured to have GIHE recognised by the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The support received by the government scholarships, has made a difference in Saudi nationals wanting to get an unparalleled education in hospitality management at Glio,” said Michael Huckaby, interim CEO of GIHE. For a lot of international hotel chains, Saudi Arabia is a strategic base in the region because of the large number of tourists visiting the country each year.
