TEXT 2. Changing trends There has been an overall rise in the numbers of students enrolling in higher education in the last twenty years. The subjects chosen by students reflect trends in the job market as well as changes in the students' fields of interest and research. Figure 4 shows the numbers of students enrolled at Coral University for the years 2000-2001 and 2006-2007, according to subjects studied. For the academic year 2000-2001, the most popular subjects for both men and women were in the arts, with __________ 500 men and approximately __________ women studying these subjects. In economics and commerce the numbers of men and women were almost __________. However, engineering and technology were more popular with male students, with only 119 women, compared with 245 men choosing these subjects. Information technology was also more popular with men, with 108 male and 72 female students, and in law just under __________ of the total number were men. The academic year 2006-2007 saw a general increase in student numbers, as most faculties registered a rise in enrolments. For example, the number of men studying IT rose from 108 in 2000 to __________ 140 in 2006, and numbers studying law rose to over 350 men and __________ 200 women. There were some decreases. The number of men studying medicine and dentistry dropped to 130, and the number of women studying economics and commerce also fell by 60, to 406. It is predicted that this increase in student numbers and changing trends in subject choice will continue over the coming years. Universities will expand to receive these growing numbers, and new faculties will open.
