Universities Minister David Willetts said the overall figures showed that employers were continuing to recruit graduates in large numbers, "even though these are students who graduated at the height of the recession".

The National Union of Students (NUS) said it was "a particularly tough time for graduates looking to get themselves on the career ladder".

"University leavers will be the engines of economic recovery in the UK and the government must ensure that it invests in the creation of suitable jobs and secures access to employment opportunities to best utilise the vast pool of skills and knowledge emerging from our colleges and universities," said NUS president Aaron Porter.

The government wants colleges to give greater information about students' chances of finding work after graduation so they make better choices before they embark on a college courses. 

"I have asked universities to provide employability statements to help people make the right choice about which course to take," Mr Willetts said.

The Friends of Dulwich College - Grand Festive Fair 2011

Our ‘Deck the Halls’ annual festive event run by the Friends of Dulwich College, is in the final stages of planning and promises to be bigger and better than ever. With over 120 fabulous stalls, selling high quality gifts for all ages and tastes, it is an unmissable seasonal event. Many describe it as a one stop Christmas shopping day. We have been inundated with applications for stalls this year and have vendors travelling from as far away as Wales, Dorset & Norfolk to sell their wares. (do remember that we have no credit card facilities!)

Our hugely popular Food Hall will again have mouth-watering fare that rivals that in Knightsbridge , and this year we are extending our catering courtyard to a traffic free zone in the car park. Hot food, mulled wine and lots of other warming treats will be available. Our popular café run by the Junior School, will as ever, be a place to take a break over hot drinks and lovely home made baked goodies. There is festive musical entertainment planned alongside the café and this year the Art Department are staging an exhibition of their work, which can be purchased as unusual gifts for family and friends.

As always, we carefully choose a charity to which we donate a large proportion of our overall proceeds .This year we have decided to support Hassan White a Dulwich College pupil who was sadly involved in a road accident last year and is only just learning to take his first steps again after months of recuperation. We hope to support his recovery by the purchase of a special piece of equipment for him. We do not usually charge an entrance fee for the fair but this year we will have buckets at the doors for donations of change for this worthy cause.  Please dig deep into your pockets for him.

Staff members are again donning their boots for sporting entertainment, so do take time out to watch their endeavours! They will also be raising money for Hassan. Our U15 footballers will be raising money to help towards their tour costs and will be organising Beat the Goalie competitions. They are also planning to wash cars while you shop (weather permitting).

Our raffle promises to be another star attraction and all proceeds will go this year to Childline.
