RE, angry backlash as would-be MPs debate Darwen schools It would appear today’s education system for under eighteens is to teach them how to get into university. Then from university to McDonalds, KFC etc.

Why should our future electricians, plumbers, etc have to waste four or five years at uni, when they could leave at 16 and get apprenticeships as was the case before this educational upheaval.

I used to induct undergraduates into a work environment before they went on to become managers. They knew nothing of the industry.
