Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Education
“The wide gap in employability skills is still a great concern. While ten years ago, the deficiency among fresh graduates stood at an adverse of 50+ per cent, the situation is yet to be contained on an absolute scale. Industry feedback still points to a mismatch between the levels of work readiness among young job seekers and employer demands. There is more to be done! Not just by academia but all sectors combined. The challenge transcends beyond education.”
