A report warned last year that the growing number of workers who are over-qualified for their role is largely the result of a huge expansion in university education.
去年，一份报告曾警告称，大材小用的员工数量不断增加大部分是大学教育大量扩张的结果。

中左翼智库公共政策研究所表示，“高技能工作岗位的数量并没有和高素质人才的数量同步”。
School-leavers would be better prepared for the job market by doing an apprenticeship instead of racking up huge debts at university, the report claimed.
这份报告也提出，如果想更好地为将来的就业做好准备，毕业生应勤工俭学，而不是在大学期间累积巨额债务。
