Specific government assignments to universities and other higher education institutions– the Government’s governance through design and follow-up

(RiR 2021:1)

There is a great shortage of labour in several occupational groups that are vital to society. The Government has tried to counter this shortage by giving the universities and other higher education institutions (HEIs) specific assignments to expand some education programmes for shortage occupations, primarily health sciences programmes, teacher and preschool teacher education and engineering programmes.
