"We should not depend on these jobs on the non-Saudis forever while we have qualified Saudis who are capable of doing perfectly the jobs not only in these two sectors but in all other fields," he said. With this, he is pushing for nationalization of educational jobs in Saudi Universities. He added, there are many Saudis with Masters and Ph.D. degrees who can take over the jobs of many foreigners. According to Al-Maliki, there were 60,000 jobs in the sector of education and health currently occupied by foreigners. These jobs he said, is open for nationalization. Aside from this, he said that there are 41,000 non-Saudis being employed by the government and the Kingdom should not depend on expats in terms of its local employment. Al-Maliki confirms that there are a large number of qualified Saudis who are capable of working in the health sector. This plan is a part of Saudi's Vission 2030 that seeks to reduce the overall unemployment rate from 11.6% to 7%, overhaul the education system and increase the female participation rate from 22% of the workforce to 30%. Part of this is to create 450,000 new jobs for Saudis by 2020.
