Saudization

There was a report in one of the leading newspapers of Saudi Arabia that 87% of employees in private sector are expatriates, now the question arises why private sector is attracted to foreign manpower? The reason is obvious foreign workers have been able to do all kinds of jobs but Saudi youths are reluctant to do jobs but selective ones and moreover they lack the professionalism they consider it low on the one hand lack attitude and refuse to put in their cent percent efforts and able to reduce the cost to firms and thus firms are able to earn more profits.

Saudi being a wealthy economy is unable to control unemployment rate among its youth despite of government policy of Saudization. There seemed to be a mismatch between skills supplied versus skills required. Lack of work ethics and skills among Saudi youth is another cause for rising unemployment. The Saudi government is quite determined to reverse the situation by allocating a lion’s share of the current budget on education. This policy is going to be fruitful for Saudi youths by providing them employment and reducing the dependency on foreign manpower.

But we should never forget that in the process of globalization there will always be movement of workers across the countries be it skilled or unskilled whosoever is able to posses the requisites skills will rule the world.

Global Teachers' Shortage

 T he global teacher shortage is a growing threat to sustainable development. From rural communities to crowded cities, educators are in short supply, resulting in larger class sizes and burnout. Limited funding, low salaries, and high demands have made the profession unsustainable, and over 44 million extra teachers are required by 2030 according to UNESCO. To address this crisis, leaders must invest in teacher training, support programs, and improved working conditions to retain qualified staff. Communities could also play a role through volunteer initiatives or apprenticeship models. It's time to back words with action and prioritize education for a brighter future.
