PM: The Future of Cambodia’s Economy Depends on Young and skilled Workforce

28 February 2014

“The future of our economy and the welfare of younger generation will depend on our ability to create young, dynamic and skilled workforce that can adapt to and compete in regional and global labor market,”

“Cambodia is short of both low-skilled and middle-skilled workers for industry. The number of student graduating with degrees in science, technology and engineering is low. This is a major challenge to investment in Cambodia and limits youth employment,”

“Investing in younger generation and answering their needs are crucial than ever before for the success of Cambodia, especially at a time when Asia is becoming more competitive and deeply integrated,”

"…….. in order to solve all these challenges, the RGC in collaboration with private sector and development partners will focus on promoting good governance, management, teaching quality and resources in higher education and vocational training. The Royal Government will maintain its attention on inspection and accreditation of higher education quality as well as the promotion of education and technical and vocational training in enterprises and public-private partnership in higher education and technical vocational training with focus on some priority sectors such as science, technology and engineering, etc."
