The rapidly expanding segment of services and trade needs the workers who are up to the international standards of office and service culture. The employers realized that the graduates of the higher education institutions (of whatever speciality) meet these requirements best of all. Hence the influx of young pretenders for university diplomas of any speciality and respective growth of the output of graduates.
