Abstract
This policy brief discusses the provision and relevance of higher education (HE) and technical and vocational education and training (TVET) to economic development in Cambodia. A specific focus is the changing economic structure and demand for human resources. Findings of research show that HE institutions fail to provide relevant and quality programmes for the labour market and economy, where despite the higher enrolment in management and business administration, there is still a shortage of local people to fill positions. While there has been more demand for vocational and technical workers, TVET entities are unable to provide sufficient graduates with the required skills.
