    "content": "The Government has taken the right step to establish CBC in our learning institutions. I am an example of the CBC. I went to a technical school from Form One and I started doing my practical studies from that day. By the time I was finishing Form Four, I was able to fix electrical issues, construct a building, repair a fridge and charge some money for it. Those are the kinds of students that we want to produce. Those who went through the 8-4-4 System of Education are unable to get employment anywhere. That is why the Government had to rethink the education system. The future of this country is in self-employment. It is not in white collar jobs. White collar jobs are already full because people do not want to retire. Even when they retire, they do not want to go home and are given an extension. Previously, the retirement age for Government employees was 55 years but it was extended to 60 years. That means graduates of the 8-4-4 System of Education will not have a chance for employment. When you are trained from Grade Seven all the way to Form Four, you are ready to go. Even if you drop out at Form Four, you can start your own welding workshop."
