47,701 people with college and universitydiplomas 

According to the Science Minister Gvozden Flego, the government 
has ended up without some 47,701 people with college and university 
diplomas in the period of the last and recent census.
This was the reason as well as the fact that Croatia has only 
seven percent of people with university education and that only 
a third of the enrolled manage to complete their studies that 
the government decided that it needs to discuss the reform of 
education within a month's time.
