In respect of human resource development, results of a study on a sample of 30 departments found that 43 per cent of the sampled departments had never conducted a skills audit. Distribution of personnel was skewed in some departments resulting in high concentrations of lower and semi-skilled employees. The Commission pointed out the need to improve opportunities for specialisation in skilled occupations. Addressing the skills shortages in specialised personnel such as architects, town and traffic planners, engineers, quantity surveyors, chemists, etc was critical in attaining the objectives of government's human resource development plans.
