This makes me cross.
Yes IT skills could improve but only a minority will be high flyers.
Did you know over a fifth of school leavers are officially illiterate! Yes in 2012!
Surely this is tantamount to child cruelty? Letting them leave school unable to do the basics and with NO qualifications.
Why doesn't the Government pledge "no one will be illiterate i the 21st Century" in the 5thrichest economy in the World?
scandalous. Tony Blair pledged to eliminate Child Poverty but we are still saddled with Educational Child Poverty.
It can be done. My Wife has taught in Special Needs education for years and only the smallest minority are unable to be educated. Those with the worst disabilities, but it is expensive. BUT surely we can afford it with the will. Look what we waste as a society on Food and drink, not to mention smoking. What is more important our children or our selfish gluttony?
How can kids be expected to apply for jobs if they can't read a paper or a bus timetable? Think about it.
