Private higher education institutions and their role in development

Private higher education institutions and their role in development and meeting the needs of the labor market (the situation of Yemeni society - 1999)

Abstract

Basic principles - education is a right - development is a national issue - community development is the basis for higher education administration
Objectives: Higher education institutions (university) aim, among others, to:
- Securing educational opportunities according to the needs of development and the labor market.
Providing human and technical resources to achieve the goals of society.
Advancing the process of scientific research and enabling it to play a positive role in developing knowledge and employing it to serve development programs and development requirements.
- Work on the development of human resources and encourage them and open the fields of work in front of them.
reality :
Perhaps the absence of the principled application of university education and the disappearance of qualitative education in all education institutions that have been established so far has prompted many capitals and minds to think about the seriousness of raising awareness of this education, which is supposed to constitute the last episode of education that aims to develop the skills and capabilities necessary for development. human and material.
The absence of the concept of development or its lack of clarity and failure to follow the scientific and technological development has weakened most of the goals of higher education and formed a real gap between what is and what should be.
Yemeni universities are crowded with hundreds of thousands of students who aspire to obtain certificates that constitute a job qualification without the real goal for them being compatible with the labor market or development requirements. The skills necessary to achieve any practical or technical compatibility are almost missing. The performance of the faculty members, which accompanied the scarcity of the giant or the achievement of balance in filling academic positions, has overwhelmed all scientific and academic standards, even the fields of services (such as journalism and education), which have sorely lacked the element capable of change.
And with the increasing graduation of students without having real jobs for them, this has led to favoritism in employment and taking over positions for many people of high standing without their presence having any practical or scientific impact.
