| dc.description | The Syrian conflict 2011 to date) has had a major impact on the social fabric of the country, the major economic sectors and the livelihoods of Syrian people, including the agriculture sector and rural livelihoods that depend on agriculture The conflict has also driven large numbers of young people, including technical experts and technicians across many disciplines, to emigrate, creating a devastating impact on the technical institutions that will be the key to the eventual reconstruction of the country and relaunch of the economy In the agriculture sector, for example, the government run Organization for Seed Multiplication technical facility based in Aleppo has lost 60 of 110 staff with a Master’s degree or above Similar situations can be found at all levels, and across a number of subsectors and industries It is likely that skills shortages will be a major constraint to the recovery of the post conflict economy One priority identified by the government is the need to restore agricultural technical education This has three levels agricultural technical schools providing targeted secondary education on technical subjects relating to agriculture agricultural diplomas (two years of post secondary education) and agricultural degrees (five years at university level) Agricultural technical schools, targeting those aged from 15 to 18 will be key to rebuilding the cadre of agricultural technicians, who are the backbone of the agricultural vocational services food production and processing. | |
