Based from the data of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Regional Office I, most of the graduates in public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) in Region I finished medical and allied courses since School Year (SY) 2004-2005 until SY 2012-2013. In SY 2003-2004, most (24.2 percent) of the graduates finished education courses. However, the education discipline group was overtaken by the medical and allied group in SY 2004-2005 with the 152.2 percent increase in the number of graduates, thereby increasing the share of the latter from 9.3 percent in SY 2003-2004 to 20.4 percent in SY 2004-2005.

The percentage share of graduates of medical and allied courses continued to expand in the succeeding years as the number of graduates continuously increased until SY 2008-2009 when it posted the highest share of 39.7 percent. In the succeeding SYs, the medical and allied discipline group still cornered most of the graduates but its share continued to decline. In SY 2012-2013, graduates of medical and allied courses comprised 20.7 percent of the total graduates in the region, which was still significantly higher that its 9.3 percent share in SY 2003- 2004.

On the other hand, the percentage share of graduates of education courses started to decline in SY 2004-2005 as the number of graduates decreased by 20.1 percent and this trend continued until SY 2008-2009. The trend was reversed in SY 2010-2011 until SY 2012-2013 with the steady increase in the number of graduates of education courses. In SY 2012-2013, it posted a 15.6 percent contribution, which was the second highest after the medical discipline group.

Meanwhile, the percentage share of graduates of business administration and related courses was the second highest from SY 2005-2006 until SY 2011-2012, displacing the education discipline group. In SY 2012-2013, however, it recorded the third highest contribution of 15.2 percent, as the education discipline group returned to second place.

The other discipline groups with consistently large number of graduates during the period SY 2003-2004 to SY 2012-2013 were math and computer science, and engineering and technology. These discipline groups contributed 12.9 percent, and 9.4 percent, respectively, to the total number of graduates in SY 2012-2013.
The number of graduates of Service Trades also posted a remarkable increase with 2,339 graduates in SY 2012-2013, from 384 in SY 2011-2012. Similarly, the number of graduates of Law and Jurisprudence significantly increased in SY 2012-2013 with 1,085 graduates, from 97 graduates during the previous SY.
The above data on graduates show which disciplines have oversupply and undersupply of graduates. The data could be used as guide by incoming college students in choosing what courses to take to give them bigger chances of employment after graduation. (NCSB)
