Two very disturbing reports were published this week that highlight the same problem within the UK. The first report lamented the declining quality of candidates that employers discover when casting their nets looking for new employees. Secondly, the much vaunted rise in educational standards that Labour has been so proud to boast of in recent years may not be so great afterall.
This is going to have serious consequences for the future of the British economy in the future as the UK will never be able to compete as a low cost producer but only excel as a knowledge based economy. More importantly however, the only way to move individuals up social classes and genuinely away from poverty is through good quality education that improves their economic chances in life. Benefits are not the solution, hard work is. By preventing this economic mobility through a lack of quality education, Labour is condemning another generation to years of poverty.
Ironically, by condemning the masses to a poor education, Labour is actually assisting those parents who can afford to educate their children privately.Their children's life chances will improve massively as they will be competing for future jobs within a smaller pool of talent.
