In this regard, the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) explained that the circular aims to regulate the labor market, ensure compatibility between academic specialization and job roles, and promote equal job opportunities. The circular, which was published on the PAM’s X account, states that, in line with procedures regulating academic qualifications and professions approved by PAM, amendments to the academic qualifications or job titles of expatriate workers recruited with work permits or transferred to the private sector are suspended in cases where the requested amendment involves a higher educational level that is not compatible with the nature of the profession for which they were originally hired or transferred.
