BAGHDAD - Graduate students will be linked more closely to the requirements of Iraq's labor market under a joint plan by the ministries of education and higher education.
Education ministry adviser Mohsen Abdul-Ali said the scheme concerns the labor market's need for human resources.
"The new mechanism focuses on linking [school, college and university] graduates with work and on developing educational institutions such as teaching and training academies in addition to scientific centers for research and development and technology universities and other institutions to gain skills and merit."
He continued: "There are serious steps to strengthen the capacity of the private sector in the development of education in the country and provide the best legislative and administrative means to strengthen the role of investment in the education and teaching sectors."
The Ministry of Planning announced previously that it started to prepare a survey about the human resource needs of the ministries and government departments out with the ministries of education and higher education.
The education sector in Iraq witnessed remarkable decline due to international isolation and acts of violence which took place after the fall of the former regime in 2003. The series of attacks led to the killing and abduction of scientific talent and the migration of the educational elite over the past eight years. Others were ousted from their jobs because of their affiliation to the outlawed Baath Party.
Iraqi academics have called on government to develop the higher education curricula in universities and institutes.
