Yeah, I agree. I read an article in the newspapers about it. It stated that there were graduate students who were hired to work for American companies and the Executives complained saying that the grads were unable to read/write/do mathematical operations correctly.
The entire system of education and learning is at risk, in my opinion. I remember that back in November or December, there were protests in England when they raised tuition from $9,000 GBP to $14,000 GBP. How can we, as a society, progress further when cash and other constraints are separating us away from an education and a good standard of living?
I think we should talk about Education on this site just as often as Andre, Iggy and the others talk about Obesity.
