	The number of colleges of technology has remained basically unchanged since 1985. About 90% of all colleges of technology are national institutions while a few of them have a community and private status. While the number of students also has remained almost constant, student advancement rates to universities have increased rapidly following restructuring of the institutions, and the numbers and rates continue to increase. At present, more than one in three graduates from colleges of technology moves on to university education.
