    "content": "When it comes to training facilities, and, indeed, this is well covered in the Sessional Paper, there are gaps which were ably noted. They are mainly ICT gaps. They are upcoming knowledge gaps in the 21st Century which need to be addressed. I worry about our competitiveness in the global realm. We have a mismatch between our system and what is being internationally used. The British still have the common entrance exams and the A Level system. When it comes to matching, especially when trying to internationalise our students when they go abroad, there is a very big mismatch in terms of how they are placed. What is the equivalent of our Form Four with their system? That is why we have a lot of bridging courses, which come at a very great expense to our citizens. This has a bigger effect when they are being assessed for international opportunities. Today, we have able people sitting in international bodies courtesy of matching their education experience with that of other countries."
