A new survey by Slovakia’s Education Ministry shows that employers are generally satisfied with the skills of university graduates. The study, conducted in cooperation with the Slovak Centre of Scientific and Technical Information, collected feedback from employers of roughly 4,000 recent master's graduates. Employers rated graduates highly in teamwork, use of expert knowledge, communication, and problem-solving. Education Minister Tomáš Drucker emphasized the importance of such feedback for improving higher education. The results will influence funding for universities that opted to include employer satisfaction in their performance contracts, such as STU Bratislava, UMB Banská Bystrica, and Žilinská univerzita.
