CASE in point, is the MEF statement that READ : MNCs unlikely to hire locals who failed English, Maths.
DOES the MEF have a valid point? YES, they do but that is besides the point. The point is apart from bitching about it, what is the MEF itself doing to retrain the SPM drop outs who are not linguistically inclined in English, that are already in the work force?
HAS the MEF any policy in place to pay a higher salary to those who are proficient in English ? HELL NO .
NEVERMIND, about paying more, how about language upskill courses for those already in the work force by the members of MEF itself? Is there a policy in place for this? AGAIN the answer is a HELL NO.
THE MEF, should ask itself what has it done as a federation to tip the scales in favour of those who are not proficient in English, upon leaving school, rather than keep harresing the Government on what it should be doing.
