October 20, Manama (BNA): As part of the “Skills Bahrain” project, the Labour Fund “Tamkeen” has released the Private Education Sector Skills Report, reaffirming its dedication to nurturing domestic talent and matching their competencies with the changing demands of the national economy.
Tamkeen: Skills Bahrain report identifies five most in-demand jobs in Bahrain’s private education sector
The research lists the top five positions in Bahrain’s private education industry and gives a thorough rundown of the fundamental and technical abilities needed for each.
It draws attention to the significant changes occurring both domestically and internationally in the private education sector, which are being fueled by the quick uptake of contemporary technology, digital innovation, and an increasing focus on diversity and inclusivity in instructional strategies.
In order to improve education quality and create more dynamic and adaptable learning experiences, the report also emphasizes the significance of incorporating digital tools and artificial intelligence into the classroom. Additionally, data analysis is used to personalize learning materials and expedite assessment procedures.
The report, which was prepared in cooperation with a working group made up of representatives from training and educational institutions as well as pertinent stakeholders, identifies the most in-demand positions, such as academic and career counselors, instructional designers, educational technologists, and Special Education Needs (SEN) educators.
Along with outlining the essential technical skills—like designing and implementing assessments, embracing new technologies, analyzing data, and managing a classroom professionally—it also highlights the essential core skills—like communication, empathy, adaptability, inclusion, planning, and organization.
The Director General of Skills Bahrain, Amer Marhoon, emphasized the report’s significance in bolstering the growth of national competences. According to him, it is a strategic instrument for determining the most important skills in the field of education and for matching learning objectives with changing labor market demands. In order to guarantee the preparedness and competitiveness of Bahraini talent both domestically and internationally, he continued, the swift transformations in the education sector necessitate investment in future skills as well as the implementation of flexible and inclusive learning approaches.
The Kingdom’s 2024 Economic Report states that the private education industry, which contributes around 3.98% of Bahrain’s GDP, is one of the most promising areas in the country’s economy. According to the most recent data from the Ministry of Education, there are now 288 public and private educational institutions in total.
The “Skills Bahrain” project, which operates under Tamkeen, analyzes workforce data and important economic sectors in order to match education and training outputs with labor market demands. In order to provide the information and resources needed for skill development and to create clear career pathways that make the transition from school to work easier, it collaborates closely with employers, education and training providers, and pertinent government agencies. This helps to prepare competent and competitive Bahraini professionals for the future.
