Please Sir, Can I Have Some More EDUCATION
New Zealand gifted with land rich for agriculture, wonderful water supplies a country with an abundance of technology for sustainable living for the future : one questions why so many of the youth leave school unqualified and some barely can read and write.
Is it the teaching, one questions how do the youth reach secondary education unable to read or spell the language. Is it the courses offered in school tired and out of step for the future.
Is there too much of the glossy programs that teach all and nothing. To learn to read a real book and write without a computer and do basic mathematics without a calculator would be a good start.
New Zealanders desire is to engage the young preparing them for work in a profession of their choice where basic values of self worth, the contributions well paid and benefits not only the ‘company’ but to the country. A work place with a future and sustainability.
New Zealand a country known for the No 8 Wire mentally, back-yard builders creators, inventors that over decades contributed to the country and benefited mankind world wide.
Many do not desire to go to university some do not have that academic skill however have extraordinary skills tactile, and other skills.
Education lacks the foresight to harness these skills and energies, courses for example in basic science,mechanical engineering, water care/management. Forestry, the care of the agriculture on the land, animals not in pens for the welfare of the animal producing quality foods.
The list is endless.
New Zealand requires the future school leavers to be armed with skills and the mind to supply a range of companies here in New Zealand requiring a solid work-force innovative with a tool kit of work ethics.
For all the so called jobs out there, that’s no use when no-one can fit the bill, the unemployment rising hand in hand with a muddy education system, the Social Development Ministers answer is “Suck it in” In other words so what, is the attitude from the Minister. The unemployment,sickness benefit,invalids benefits by the time people pay the rent, power, and buy merge supply of food no wonder many in New Zealand are starving and turning to crime, or domestic violence through frustrations. It is not all drugs and booze.
Many are good men and woman at the coal face, at the wheels of Industry that are being crushed. Crushed through fiscal waste,systems dysfunctional and wasteful, by the cost of rhetoric, top management greed and selfishness and the raping of banking systems.
It is Please Sir can I have some more Education…. and a job would be fantastic.
An honest days work for an honest days pay the latter being; that the pay is worthy and give the people a sense of value.
