Government lauded for "people-friendly" budget, funnelling funds into ineffective vocational schemes and perpetuating a cycle of futility.
FO Take · Score 20
Another budget, another boondoggle. Pouring money into defunct vocational training ensures a compliant, underqualified workforce. This isn't investment; it's an elaborate pacifier, preventing genuine educational reform. We are creating a generation trained for jobs that do not exist, propped up by a government unwilling to face reality. When will we demand actual progress?
The strongest counter
Targeted vocational spending, however imperfect, offers *some* opportunity where none existed. It is a stepping stone for many, not a deliberate misdirection.
