PHNOM PENH, June 13 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An has suggested that higher education institutions should tailor their courses to the domestic labor market, local media reported Friday.
"The number of the unemployed will increase if we do not develop human resources in response to labor market," Sok An was quoted as saying in the Mekong Times newspaper.
"Higher education institutions have to prepare academic programs that can meet the labor market's demands, because the government wants to harmonize labor forces," he said.
With an expected 200,000 people entering into the labor market annually by 2011, Sok An said the Kingdom must plan how to best employ its human resources.
Garments, tourism and agriculture are Cambodia's pillar industries, Sok An continued, and all three have potential for job creation.
"We know that targeted human resources development is the backbone of any nation's development," he said.
Educational institutions must strengthen quality in order to meet demands, he added.
