Hi Georgina,
GOOD TO SEE YOU IN ANOTHER CONTEST. THANKS FOR VISITING MY BLOG. I AM WRITING IN CAPS TO CONTRAST WITH YOUR COMMENTS. SEE BELOW.
Sensible suggestions though I wonder about whether all unemployed would want more education.
MY INTENT IS THAT TAKING COURSES IS VOLUNTARY, AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT WORKING IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR YOU CAN RECEIVE THE EDUCATION STIPEND IF YOU ARE ENROLLED IN A SCHOOL.
There may well be school drop outs and those that did badly in the education system.
SCHOOL DROPOUTS AND FAILURE IS A CRIME PERPETRATED BY THE CURRENT EDUCATION SYSTEM!
The type of schooling would have to be very different.
YES, INDEED!
I'm not sure the Apple model could be scaled up.
I'M NOT SURE EITHER, BUT IT IS WORTH SERIOUS THOUGHT
Though it sounds very good. There really has to be motivation to learn and minimum wage jobs still need doing.
IF THE EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS ARE APPROPRIATE, THERE WILL BE MOTIVATION. MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WILL GO AWAY...AND GOOD RIDDANCE. THE JOBS WILL GET DONE BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR BUT THEY WILL PAY MORE.
Also more education does not necessarily create more suitable jobs and then there are graduates who can't find suitable work and end up unemployed or in minimum wage jobs anyway.
THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION IS NOT TO CREATE JOBS, IT IS TO CREATE THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE JOBS CAN EMERGE.
The advantage of your proposition is that they don't also have a large debt to repay from receiving a student loan.
I THINK THIS IS ONE OF MANY ADVANTAGES.
GOOD TO SEE YOU IN ANOTHER CONTEST, LOOK FORWARD READING YOUR ESSAY,
DON LIMUTI
