"I will invite the university rectors to formulate curriculum which are adjusted to the labor market`s needs," the minister said here on Monday.
He said that there were complaints at present the subjects taught in universities were often not fit to the needs for a graduate to face employment.
Adjustment to employment is important for university graduates so that their classifications would meet the need of various companies seeking workers.
"We will invite the rectors on Wednesday to discuss this matter," he said adding that the central board of statistics pointed out there were a total of 8.1 unemployed people.
Some of the unemployed people are within the productive age between 20 and 40 years, he said.
