Qatar : Must improve education system

Qatar must strive to create more educated citizens and skilled workers if it is to move towards a knowledge-based economy, according to a World Bank document. The document, which forms the basis of the second phase of the country’s Labour Market Strategy, has been submitted to the General Secretariat for Development Planning (GSDP). This government drive aims to improve the country’s education system and the skills of young Qataris. “There has historically been a vicious circle between low education outcomes of Qataris, their resulting reluctance to be employed in low-skill or low-wage or poor working condition jobs in the private sector, and the pressure on government to act as an employer of the last resort,” the document said.
