Martesfinanciero.com reports that the country has at least 14 diagnostic  and prognostic documents on education, but &#8220;none have managed to be  implemented completely to produce students with an optimal or acceptable  level of knowledge which allows them to have the skills demanded from  the labor market. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Panamanian business regularly pronounce on this issue, calling it  &#8220;grave&#8221;, and pointing to the public education system as &#8220;low quality&#8221;,  and having &#8220;serious deficiencies&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Graduates of the education system, either formal education or technical  training courses, tend to be young with many shortcomings or  limitations, so companies have to invest time and resources in order to  fill the gaps that are created from secondary education onwards and in  vocational and university courses. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The implications for companies are serious: loss of productivity and  competitiveness, difficulties in obtaining qualified personnel in  certain areas, combined with a high turnover of staff because of human  resource cannibalization. They also have to invest more in training,  hiring foreign personnel in dynamic sectors of the economy which  requires skills that are not available locally and the wage costs that  entails, said Irvin Halman, President of the Chamber of Commerce,  Industries and Agriculture of Panama (Cciap).<\/p>\n<p>Source: martesfinanciero.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Companies
