But its education system has failed to produce relevant and qualified workforce required by the economy, which causes a skill mismatch and shortage in the labor market. The economy is currently mainly based on agriculture, garment and textile, tourism and construction where science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) have been left behind. However, in recent years the royal government has realize the importance to move from resource-driven growth that rely on cheap labor and capital to high productivity and innovation based growth where STEM plays the main role. This presentation discussed the status and implementation of STEM for the development of Cambodia."
