For once I agree. Education is the cornerstone to all and every problem we are facing. We NEED educated people and the Universities are practically paying students who do well at school to study so guys get those kids in school and make them work hard. Can't believe I agree with Vavi?

I agree but what about the torching of schools and intimidation of teachers that are willing to teach?

"Many unemployed youth should be at school, acquiring skills and increasing their potential for jobs."

How?
Unemployed youth very seldom have R20 odd gs lying around for education purposes and even if they did, it is damn hard to study on an empty tummy and with the awful basis that our schooling provides.

With MommaC and Daniel-san looking like destitute street paupers compared to Malema, zuma and Vavi etc,. I expect them to do something revolting to address the inequalities.

anc macroeconomic policy is so screwed up that there appears to be no hope. You can churn out PhD's, but if there is no work for them, what's the point?

The comrades just do not have a clue.

For as long as this country is run by un-educated cadres with honorary PhD's then its useless to be educated. Thousands of graduates are sitting at home, dying of frustrations while the connected non-academics are running the show. How will i as a B Com hnrs graduate find a job when the person who is employing has only matric??????? Academics are secure in terms of employment in any other country but S.A

Bcom Honors in what? It doesn't help you cry fowl if you have honors management and how can you an educated man say such a thing about education? Having a degree does not guarantee a job but the application of the knowledge you receive does. Prof Jansen has this to say to you then:

I think education system does'nt prepare graduate to working environment,cos what apartheid did recent govt.continued frm that the likes of OBR,intruduction of useless Levels at Fet colleges and the worrying factor is that govt must come up with a plan to deal with graduates placement and do away with so called internship or those went through that must be employed by that particular Dept

Thats because most graduates want to get a benzo, live in an estate, eat breakfast, lunch and supper in melrose arch, wear louis vuittons with the red bottoms and possibly become a manager on their first job, sh1t takes time and a lot of maneuvering.

We need entrepeneurs more than graduates- but employers are usually poison in the eyes of the unions - so I wouldn't want to be a employer - even though I have been an accountant and auditor for more than 20 years.

I had to resign when I was not happy with my job - I couldn't attack the boss for an increase ? But this is now the culture in the country with no stance taken by government.

We should treasure employers. I will not start a big factory and appoint people, because tommorrow I can't give them the salary increase they want - and they also don't want to start their own businesses - so I will just have too much trouble - so the joblessness will just increase.
