 Since 2000 to 2006, enrollment in 12 private universities grew by about 18 percent annually from 36,642 to 55,744.However, enrollment numbers in community colleges declined from 30,000 to 26,215.This decrease in enrollment rates reflect a bias to a 4-year university education and also the fact that quality and level of training given in these colleges is not what is in demand in the labor market of a knowledge based economy.
