“Moreover, unaccredited schools have control over the tests and marks of their students, which creates individual differences among the students,” he said at a conference during the second-day of the Government Summit.
The conference, entitled “Education and work on preparing the future generations for labour market”, was described as in-camera and media men were not allowed. But Khaleej Times managed to enter and listen to the issues being put for discussion.
Dr Abdullah Al Karam, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Director-General of Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in Dubai said however, the graduates of private education, whether from private schools or universities are not facing any problems at the labour market.
Elaborating, he said it was the graduates of government-run educational institutions who found it difficult when they enter the labour market.
Al Karam tackled the problems of students’ dropout and stressed that one in five students is a dropout.
Al Suwaidi agreed with Al Karam on the poor standards of government school students compared with their private school peers.
He, however, said there are problems in private education sector that required to be checked and reviewed.
The Chairman of Al Ghurair Investment and CEO of Mashreq Bank, Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair, called for the need to set up a statistics centre to monitor the needs of the labour market every year.
Al Ghurair said 25 per cent to 30 per cent of Emirati employees drop out from banks every year due to the nature of work and they are incapable of adapting with work.
He also said many university graduates become academicians, with no skills, attitudes and ethics of work in private sector. Director-General of Abu Dhabi Education Council, Dr Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili said the Government of Abu Dhabi had formed the human resources planning committee with main duty of specifying the actual need of engineers, doctors and other professionals and to coordinate with education institutions to provide these various needs. He underscored the need to clearly determine the required professionals in different sectors.
