Wrong training

I could never be professional politician, obliged when in opposition to use everything that comes to hand to take shots at the party in power.

Last weekend, the Orange Dwarf (Luís Marques Mendes) appeared to harangue the government about the high level of unemployment among new graduates. Let's analyse this in more detail...

Graduate unemployment is the result of universities producing students whose skills do not match those required by the market. Portuguese universities produce huge numbers of graduates whose skills, either in subject matter studied or depth of knowledge acquired, do not satisfy potential employers. Is that the government's fault? It depends how much freedom the universities have in defining their degree subjects.

Then we have to consider which government is to blame. A graduate degree takes three or four years. This PS government has been in power for two! So surely the government that is to blame for these particular unemployed graduate was the previous PSD administration. Perhaps Mr MM should stick to more recent problems, or just save us and not say anything at all.
