UK Diplomat: Yemen in Dire Need of Diversified, Developed Education |
2012-08-05 |
![]() British Charge d'Affaires in Sanaa, Sharon Wardle, said the lack of employability skills makes Yemen depend on external workforce to provide and improve services. “The lack of generic skills affects the economy of any country in the world because it is a key reason for unemployment and deterioration of traditional industries,” she said, pointing out that the shortfall of this problem is blamed on the lack of motivating and guiding students toward special disciplines in line with the labour market needs. “There is a dire need of specialized, developed education because the current education system has failed to produce key competencies and suitable output in line with the country’s economic and investment trends,” she said at a ceremony to present the award for the best innovator from the technical education and vocational training schools in Sanaa. “Furthermore, qualified and skilled workforce is a key factor to attract foreign investments, boost the national economy, accelerate social change and improve livelihoods”. Diversified education is very necessary in Yemen at the moment to cope with continuous labour market changes triggered by technological and industrial developments, she added. |
