Blame poor education for low skills shortage

A few weeks ago the media informed us that there were 4,700 jobs which required varying levels of technology skills, waiting to be filled.

Four or five weeks later, the media again informed us that there were 4,500 jobs still waiting to be filled and would require recruitment from overseas to fill them, as there were no suitable applicants here.

Skill is important and so is the education on how to develop that skill. I have always maintained that our education is failing because it is of poor quality at foundation level and you cannot build safely on dodgy foundations.
